Confirmed from Fuller 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 Fuller Preserve
Small preserve, nice short trail, no one else there. Was a nice little afternoon walk.
Fuller Preserve occupies about 8 acres of mature hardwood forest. The land was donated to the Wood County Park District with the request that be accessible yet undeveloped. There is only one loop trail of about 0.4 mile. It is likely to be muddy in spring and after rain.
An out of the way place that nobody knows about. There is a small area to park your car here and go for a run on some of these back roads in Wood County. I've never been past the little parking spot, but whatever, it's a great place to stash your ride when you go our for a run.
Love how it’s close to my house but the paths are often over grown. It’s still a nice walk.
