Confirmed from Cornhill Woodland'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 Cornhill Woodland
“I love the quiet solitude and I'm unlikely to run into others while there.”
Great place for a stroll. You can go short or long. The first loop is about a mile long. *Edit* I realized after looking at a map that this trail connects to more trails. Could totally pack a snack+water and spend some time wandering about.
Very nice place for a walk! Super quiet. The trails are well marked and color coded (map attached). The Union Street entrance has a small parking lot. The yellow trail outlet is in a neighborhood. It is not very long, but it hooks up to Phillips Farm, another nature trail that I didn’t venture into today.
Lovely spot, usually well-maintained trails, can be naturally blocked at times. I love the quiet solitude and I'm unlikely to run into others while there. The trails can be wet, and lead to a view of the North River. Cornhill Woodland is adjacent to acres and acres of other natural walking trails. Enjoy!
Parking for about 6 cars. Mix of pines and hardwoods. Trails wellarked and clear. Quiet.
