Confirmed from Caraway Creek Preserve'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 trails, some with scenic views, along with a dam.

The website shows 3 trails, they have added two more and looks like even more is being done. New just opened in 2023, great for all ages and is moderate hiking, some hills but all easy to walk. Streams and a Dam. Great for the family, a walk with the dog or just a day out.
Guessing it's brand new. Was a nice little walk. Several short trails, that all sort of cross each other. Definitely go back. Hopefully they create more trails.
This is a spectacular small preserve with a creek and deep deep ravines. Very nice well maintained trails. My dog approves very much.
Beautiful trail, so happy to have a nice place like this to go to. It's an easy to moderate trail with some steeper hills to go up and down but a really lovely peaceful place to hike!
