Many of the trails I review are kid-friendly, and this one is no exception. Nice flat trail with spots to stop along the way to view the pond and skip some rocks. Beautiful and peaceful, just as you want a walk in the woods to be.

Beautiful and pleasant walk around the pond, it’s an easy walk. One or two inclines but not hard at all. It’s worth to do the whole loop.

I recently visited this loop trail with friends, it's a wonderful walk around picturesque Gates Pond/Reservoir. The trail is as wide as a road and is easy to follow. Plenty of parking at the end of Taylor Road which is the only access road. Take care the road can be rough. Since this is Hudson's drinking water no swimming but fishing is allowed via a town permit. Very popular with folks walking their dogs or riding horses, watch out for the poop. Highly recommended, especially during the week, weekends are busy but still enjoyable.

Great hike. Nice views and very popular!
Approx 1.5 miles for a loop and could definitely be biked.

Tons of parking at the trail head. Good views and lots of little side trails. The main loop is pretty wide so you can stay socially distant from everybody else. There’s enough room for dogs or horses, as seen by their droppings. Lots good spots to view the water as well

Excellent 2 mile "Hiking Trail" in the Border of Hudson, Berlin & Marlborough... Life's sweet around the Gates Pond, filled with crisp green trees, birds chirping & relaxing Pond views...
☝️💖🙏🏼 Loved every minute, but I reccomend you spray for ticks & mosquitoes before going, as this time of year, like in Spring, there's more than us, out there. Everything else, I loved; & so loved the company ... Thank you Liccy & Daryl for taking us. 🙌🏼💗👏🏻💋

This is my favorite place to hike/walk... And trust me I've hiked many. I live & grew up in the area and every chance I get I try to take this beautiful 2.5 mi walk around the small reservoir. It is always changing, especially through the seasons. This is a perfect place to bring your dogs, they're always many at the pond on beautiful days. Whenever I'm feeling down, this is the place I go. It has saved my a peace of mind many times.

Great place to go for a light walk. The trail is about 2.4 miles around and took about an hour to walk the whole thing. There are spots that were quite muddy but otherwise was a decent path for walking. Very dog friendly.
