Confirmed from Collegial Woods Trails' 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 Collegial Woods Trails
Great place to visit and enjoy a nice walk thru the woods. Not sure why the address brings you here but this trail is on the north side of Zane State College. There is a nice Pavillion there that has restrooms for use and they are kept clean.
It wasn't a loop as I expected, but there's a ton of trails off the main trail. My Boston Tourist (Terrier) and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring. We will most likely be back, next time we're in the area.
