Confirmed from Enchanted 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.
Shady 0.5-mile route through the woods featuring bridges, animal art and bug sculptures.
What runners say about Enchanted Nature Trail
“Though we didn't pull any fish out of the river, it was a beautiful morning to fish with my boy.”
“Once you are on the trail, it is a nice shaded little path of 0.”
“Peaceful, very small little trek through the trees.”
To start, the parking area has no signs and you park in a vacant lot. Don't be fooled, it is the area. You will walk down a grass path and will not see signs of the trail until about 3 minutes of hiking. Once you are on the trail, it is a nice shaded little path of 0.50 miles roadtrip.
Beautiful trail!! Great for the kids to explore and learn about nature! There were several marker points with great facts about the wild life in that area!! At he beginning of the trail on the right side, there are tree stumps half-circled around the main stump, and looks to be a meeting point for trail hikers, and…
Brought the kids and dog here. Pretty cool little hike. Only 1/2 mile. Make sure you check for ticks after. We pulled 2 off the dog.
Very rustic looking, a little muddy in places, but overall a fun and beautiful place to visit. I do recommend stopping by to check it out. The trail isnt too long so its a pretty good trail for all ages.
