Confirmed from Edgewood Oak Brush Plains 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.
Wooded nature preserve spanning 813 acres, with hiking, biking & accessible trails.

We just got out of there with a local friend, we ride the bicycle on their 5.5 miles bycicle road, it was exhausting but totally worth it if you like to byke. Also there is a hiking road for you to enjoy the nature. There's free parking and tables for you to eat something outside.
Fun place to ride a bike and go for a walk. Alot of trails easy to get lost In the moment of how beautiful it is.
Great trails and awesome views. Bring water as it can get very hot at different times of year. Got down to the beach and was really taken with the beauty of the shore line
Great place to go mountain biking or hike. Many people bring their dogs for a walk too. One of my favorite places to mountain bike.
