Confirmed from Glassboro Wildlife Management Area'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.
Wildlife area consisting of forest swamps, fields & pathways for bird enthusiasts & hikers.
What runners say about Glassboro Wildlife Management Area
“It is peaceful and a great getaway to relax.”
Always find new areas to explore! My grandson & I had a blast in my 4x4 trucks & the trails.! We also found some unique rocks, we love doing that together.
GREAT place to hike, ride your (street legal) motorcycle/dirt bike, take a nature walk, walk your dogs, etc. ! Lots of different trails and wetland areas as well.
I love walking on this trail. It is peaceful and a great getaway to relax.
Nice and quiet. You won't run into humans much. One, two at the most. There's a few bodies of water to skip rocks on. Make sure to stay on the main strip if you don't have 4X4.
