Reviews
"Hiking trails need some attention but overall, the forest trails are interesting and varied."
"Good trails and small hills. Look out for mountain bikers. The mosquitos are healthy."
"Willowdale State Forest is very large and spreads from both sides of route 1 and the paths throughout the woods can take you from town to town so make sure to have a map of some sort. The side near Marini Farm in Ipswich is great for mountain biking snow, rain, or shine."
"Huge reserve with tons of trails. We hike here often and almost never walk the same set of trails twice. There is always something new to see or a new entry to try. Lots of variation from wetland to old growth pine forest to riverside and open field. We see horses, bikers, hikers, and runners. Highly recommended. Most of the trails are identified by numbered intersections. The trails themselves vary in difficulty and range from singletrack to pavement. There's no good trail map at the trail heads so it's recommended to download the map to your phone before you go."
"An amazing place to walk, hike, and mountain bike. Miles and miles of awesome singletrack. This is where I grew up mountain biking. I feel so lucky to have been given access to this park and it's amazing dirt!"
