Confirmed from Edward R Schongalla Nature 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 Edward R Schongalla Nature Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Wonderful park! I walk my dog here all the time, and it is very calm. The northern and southern parts are very nice.

★★★★★ — Jeremy , Feb 2020
