Confirmed from Bells Ferry Unit of the Wolf River Coastal Preserve'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.
Nature preserve featuring kid-friendly hiking trails.
What runners say about Bells Ferry Unit of the Wolf River Coastal Preserve
“Very well maintained every time we have walked it.”
“Great place to hike… Peaceful with just a bit of highway noise…”
Love this Trail, highly recommended if you want to burn off some calories and lose weight .
I personally enjoyed this trail. Once daylight savings starts in March I think it would make an excellent stop after work. It's not that long, just a 3/4 mile hike and the lookout is pretty nice. It would be a nice way to destress after work, you can easily walk it in 20 minutes.
Very nice trail to walk and enjoy nature, and maybe do a little fishing. Very well maintained every time we have walked it.
Pretty but short. Leads to a river, kind of boring. Theres some rotten planks on the ramps on one side of the loop.
