Beautifully maintained trails, which are open to hikers and mountain bikers. There are great signs on the major trails, but it would be even better if there were color marked trails as well.

Had a nice outing today. The place is very quiet and great for cycling trails and hiking as well. No activities for kids to enjoy and no restrooms. You can see a nice sunset over the meadow and so many rose flower plants along the trail. For those who want to enjoy a nice and quiet place, I suggest this place near to Nashua. Also, I found a really nice book shelf for public to read some books at the park entrance and the trail has great parking as well . You can bring your dogs for a quiet walk and enjoy the music .

The trail is away from the Highway and you can enjoy the sounds of nature. I really liked this place, there are many different paths and it is easy to get lost. We walked probably halfway and it took an hour and a half and 3.5 miles.

Today was my 2nd visit to Horse Hill. All Trails are very well marked however the reserve is large enough to require the use of maps, just in case. There is a good mixture of foot and bike traffic. Well behaved dogs were off leash. Good footwear is necessary for comfort and safety. Many low areas, possibility of mud and large puddles. Bugs just started to come out, wear and bring bug spry. Beautiful area, lots to see!
