Confirmed from Buehler Park Nature Study Area'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.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“Path is very well maintained considering the time of year.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“Still, it was very peaceful and somewhat picturesque, so if you want a quick walk, take two rounds of this place.”

Nice place for a walk through the woods. Must have e been established. Many years ago since there are a number of very large trees

★★★★☆ — Bill , Oct 2021

Quick walk through the woods and park. Short loop, doggie loves it. Path is very well maintained considering the time of year. Lots of snowdrops and birdsong!

★★★★★ — Sherry , Mar 2021

We love coming here for a short walk. It's small, so not really meant for longer walks. It's a little piece of nature tucked in amongst residential and commercial areas. There are nice places to sit and just be in nature for a bit. No restrooms or porta potties so that's why I give it 4 stars

★★★★☆ — Caryn , May 2023

Very clean park. A little small. The maintenance guy was so nice. He saw me walking and asked if I wanted water. I would definitely recommend this park. A few benches to sit.

★★★★☆ — Judanne , Oct 2022

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
