Confirmed from Fellenz Woods' 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.

Tranquil area of mowed prairie with paths and river access for hiking, birding and strolling.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Yes there is a lot of prairie area, but if you walk back far enough it turns into woods and is beautiful!”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Great place to take a walk it’s quiet and peaceful and beautiful”

A snow shoe hike across the prairie and through the woods with breathtaking views of the winter landscape and sky was a great way to spend a few hours in nature.

★★★★★ — Jim , Dec 2016

Nice walk. Mostly field walk unless u take the far river trail. That is just a small path to walk along the river in the actual wooded area. There are some benches along the way to take a break on. Its nice cause not many people hike here and dogs are allowed.

★★★★☆ — Casandra , Apr 2022

Mowed turf trail system throughout a large tallgrass prairie. For the more adventurous visitors, take the river trail and see the mature floodplain forest!

★★★★★ — Ryan , Sep 2021

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
