Confirmed from Casavant Nature 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.
What runners say about Casavant Nature Area
“Between the sweet underpass graffiti and the diverse and stunning terrain, this little urban(ish) park is quite a sight!”
Between the sweet underpass graffiti and the diverse and stunning terrain, this little urban(ish) park is quite a sight! Only downside is stagnant water = bugs galore. But so, so worth it.
Great wild gem right next to the most densely populated part of Vermont. Bring boots, because many trails can be a bit muddy or downright wet. In the winter the snowshoeing is great.
A mile walking path that has some pretty views. A great to begin a workout if you havent done it in a while. Some bushes and low hanging trees impede the path but can be easily pushed aside. Be sure to check for fleas once you are done.
Great place to take dogs to play! This is a great little oasis in downtown Winooski and I am there almost every day with the dog or running through on my run.
