We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of BACKWOODS TRAIL yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 BACKWOODS TRAIL

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (1 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a shady worded trail and it is very colorful in the fall. I’d say this is the best trail in the park aside from maybe the wetlands trail across the street.
