Confirmed from Army Trail 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.
Relaxing little park featuring a calm pond, chip pathways and a wooden pier.
What runners say about Army Trail Nature Center
“Beautiful walk, wear old shoes,I love the s change of seasons, watching the foliage change.”
“The wood chip trails are well maintained and the pier offers a peaceful place for fishing.”
Great trail for cruising on a fat tire bike. The wood chip trails are well maintained and the pier offers a peaceful place for fishing. The water in the pond is a bit shallow, so expect some carp and smaller panfish.
A small roundabout area good to get an outside walk in peace goin in circle w out an audience.
My Special needs client's and staff enjoyed the trail and sat and had lunch while there.
