Confirmed from CEED'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Unique , educational, beautiful environment.”

An inspiring place to learn about nature and explore the great outdoors. Hike through the woods, interact with live animals, learn nature crafts and survival skills, gather around a campfire, share ideas, and meet other like-minded nature people. Great for families, kids of all ages, or just come by yourself.

★★★★★ — Barbara , Sep 2020

I love this place, on June 18 2022, I went to their Summer Solstice Festival and had a great time, they had vendors, food, music and lots of education on wildlife and plant life.
