Confirmed from Doreen's Nature Trail'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 Doreen's Nature Trail
This nature trail is located behind the East Granby Library. It was created in honor of Doreen Jacius, a former Library Director. The trail goes around the pond and is connected to another trail called, Allgrove Nature Trail. I found it by surprise when I was visiting the library.
