Confirmed from Blackwood Lake Park Nature Walking Trail'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.
Paved trail for walking and biking along a former railroad track.
What runners say about Blackwood Lake Park Nature Walking Trail
“This gorgeous caboose grabbed my attention so fast I almost ran a red light.”
An absolutely fantastic "target of opportunity" along our route to see other amazing things today. This gorgeous caboose grabbed my attention so fast I almost ran a red light. Well done, Blackwood. Well done, indeed.
Love this trail so much. A little bumpy in some spots due to roots and other debris from trees. Conveniently passes near a Wawa if you need to stop for a refreshment!
This is a paved trail that runs from Blackwood to the south end of town. We ride here about 4-5 days per week. It's well maintained and the scenery is just beautiful. I have seen everything from walkers and runners and bicyclists and even a skateboarder, out here. They have bike flat repair stations along the way.
I love this trail when I lived in blackwood I used to walk it every day when I lived over there now I love in west deptford my friend and I drive over there and we ride our bikes
