Confirmed from George A. Perley Bird Sanctuary'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 George A. Perley Bird Sanctuary
There is a natural surface (dirt, tree roots) trail that runs alongside a stream and through lots of beautiful trees. I heard lots of birds calling and saw numerous squirrels. The trail is about a quarter of a mile one way.
My favorite local green space! A walk in the woods short enough for any weather and long enough that you're immersed. Fun little pathway perfect for waking and biking. Benches would allow for longer visits.
