Confirmed from George Bird Rotary Arboretum'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 Bird Rotary Arboretum
A charming area hiding within Tom O and central Bismarck. We took our family pictures here once—my husband and I have also grabbed coffee and walked the 15-minute loop, very peaceful
It's a little hidden gem in Bismarck, attached to the golf course. If you can avoid snobby people in golf carts who think they're better than you, then it's a nice place to walk.
One of the most secluded and prettiest nature walks in Bismarck. Close to the golf course and everything. Private and not busy.
