Confirmed from Fenimore 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.

“Clean, quiet, beautiful wildlife, and a great spott to escape for a little while.”

Nice little Park. There is a trail around a lake with more geese than humans. There's a nice creek. There's a nice playground area and a pavilion with picnic tables and there's even a porta-potty that was open. A good shaded place for a little Trail jog

★★★★★ — Daniel , Jul 2020

Great little spot that you can walk to from anywhere in Wayne. Vet scenic. Fish, walk, jog, search for salamanders and crayfish with your littles. Feed the ducks and geese. Take the littles to attached playground and utilize the picnic area with family and friends. Parking lot on site. Ice skate for winter fun.

★★★★★ — Michael , Jun 2020

Awesome park. Nice little playground. Good size open field. There's a creek and large duck pond right down the path. Rented the large gazebo from Radnor Township with 10+ picnic table for family event. Easy to do and we had a great time. Plenty of parking.

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.
