Confirmed from DeVries Nature Conservancy'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.
Well-maintained nature preserve with a zip line, a slide and a playground.
What runners say about DeVries Nature Conservancy

This place is always so relaxing and beautiful. All four seasons are amazing. They have wonderful programs for children, as well as walking and skiing trails.
Property was well maintained. I never knew this place existed until this weekend. Would like to come back and hike and learn more.
Wonderful place to be. Safe for the kids. New additions to the play area, including a mud table. Plenty of walking paths and amazing views. Event space indoor and outdoor as well for any type of gatherings.
Had a great walk tonight. Even after all of the rain, the paths were great!
Trail conditions & character
“Well groomed walking trails, river views, and well placed benches make walking/hiking and XC skiing here delightful.”
