Confirmed from Bradley Woods Reservation'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.
Woodland park atop a sandstone quarry featuring a fishing lake & dense forest that hosts many deer.

BEST METROPARK WEVE BEEN TO !!! lots of nature & the paths are great !!! only complaint were the teens smoking weed .
Nice area with a small paved trail. Longer trails are unpaved but seems worth it. Beautiful scenery as well
This place is beautiful! The bunns lake trail is nice and its dog friendly here
First visit to Bradley Woods Reservation today! One of my favorite places to run is in the woods so when I saw this Metropark close to my remote office for the day I couldn't pass it up! Great trail runs here. I did a few loops on the Quarry Trail and walked around the picnic area for cool down. Beautiful place!
