Confirmed from Cold Creek Natural 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 Cold Creek Natural Area
“Great little quiet spot but the water spout has been removed so bring your pup some water!”
5 stars for being a great area for cute picnics and birthday parties 3 1/2 stars for walking dogs, the area is quite small, there was a short path but it led into a swamp
Quiet and leisurely morning walks, and you can see & hear the birds up close.
Nice park, especially for dog lovers or for a family gathering. There is no playground, but there is a large flat field for playing or letting dogs run around. A well kept path leads to a bridge over a small muddy creek. It looks like once upon a time the path continued into the woods, but now it is very over grown.
lovely space, lovely shelter divided so that a small group and a large group could both enjoy shelter space at the same time, lots of trails, some of them woodchip, some of them gravel road, some of them grass trails that are clearly larger than deer trails.
