Confirmed from Bicentennial Woods - ACRES Land Trust'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.
Park featuring winding trails through woods and fields, many leading to creeks, steps and hills.

Very nice nature preserve. Good amount of parking. But be warned; lots of people bring their dogs, and also don't clean up after them. They trim foliage around the trails nicely so it's easy to walk. Great for people who use iNaturalist. We go here often.
This place feels like peace. The trails are well kept, even though a storm had knocked over a few trees, the main trails were all accessible.
This is one of my favorite places to walk. It's peaceful and the trails are well maintained. It was a little sad to see someone recently carved their initials into a very large tree. And when we were walking there was a group of teens with rc cars.
Had the entire place to myself on a sunny Friday evening and experienced so much wildlife! Disturbed a young buck from his nest and he watched me from 50 feet away. A red tailed hawk swooped up to a nearby tree and watched me go on my way from its perch.
