Confirmed from GLCT Kampmeyer 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 GLCT Kampmeyer Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (1 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Another pleasant surprise in Guilford, this heavily wooded trail is a true woodland trail, that is single file width, up and down, plenty of rocks and roots, but it's well marked and after traversing it's lengths and almost all of its trails I had gone over 4 miles and seen ponds and brooks and rock outcroppings.

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.
