Confirmed from Annett Nature Center's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Annett Nature Center
A wonderful picnic park. All inclusive outdoor fun. Annette is fully equipped with a barbecue grill which we made full use of, washroom facilities, electricity, water, a bar counter, and a covered dining area with a built-in furnace if needed.
