Confirmed from Burchard Park'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.

“Great spot to access some beautiful woodland hiking”

I was here to run the TARC spring trail race, and there are lots of trails. The race was fun and great as a beginner trail race. The terrain is not so advanced and anyone can enjoy the trails

★★★★★ — Shavik , Apr 2022

This is a very quiet nice area to walk. The trails are fairly well marked and there are a lot of ways to wind around through the trees. A beautiful morning!

★★★★☆ — Krista , Jan 2021

More trails than one would realize. Easy to walk in whichever direction and "get lost". Tall trees. Pleasant walking.

★★★★★ — Joseph , May 2021

Great access to MCRT Wayside, the new section of rail trail going through Weston. Room for only a few cars though.

★★★★★ — Michael , Oct 2018

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.
