Confirmed from Crawley Woodlands Preserve'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 Crawley Woodlands Preserve
As always just check for ticks after, but a great loop that you can do in about a half hour. This is one of my repeat trails.
The first half of this trail is challenging: steep inclines and declines with exposed roots. It's not a loop, so you'll have to retrace your steps unless you walk back along Billington St which has no sidewalks. I've added a pic of the map which can be obtained at the parking area.
Great little loop walk. Some places were very muddy from the rain. I just turned around and went back. No problem.
