Confirmed from Cazenovia Creek Wildlife Management 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.

Scenic

Relaxed, kid-friendly, peaceful, natural space featuring hiking, deer and playground equipment.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Very grateful to have this beautiful area close to my apartment.”

This trail really is amongst the wildlife. At least in the sense of underdeveloped paths. Went with a group and we had a good time, but because of the recent rains it was a bit marshy on the "trail". Not very long, but did enjoy the view from of the creek area.

★★★★☆ — Daviyion , Sep 2021

One of the most unique and relaxing places in West Seneca. A great place walk the dog and a fun place to take a hike, meditate by the water or just lay in the sun. Recommend it to anybody who wants peace and tranquility!

★★★★★ — Aidan , Oct 2018

Newer trails, most plant life well preserved due to low amount of visitors. Great wildlife sightings. Deer, owl, hawks, fox, coyote and many more.

★★★★★ — Christian , May 2018

Fun creek to walk though with some great views. We even saw a deer walk through just 20 feet away.

★★★★★ — Nick , Sep 2019

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.
