Confirmed from Glen Run Nature 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 Glen Run Nature Preserve
“This spot is gorgeous and serene & perfect for those who aren’t looking for an intense hike &/or if you have a doggie who loves grass but gets winded easily.”
“My first time and love this hiking trail, love the trail blazers you can't get lost, it is also an easy trail, so amazing for any age age group, enjoy you all.”
Tough incline at start on curvy usually smooth forest trail. Has nice view of Eastern end of Cherry valley. Some highway noise. Wildlife includes deer, no bears spotted yet. Close to town.
This spot is gorgeous and serene & perfect for those who aren’t looking for an intense hike &/or if you have a doggie who loves grass but gets winded easily. Granted, it was pretty darn hot July 4th w/e 2025!
Small preserve with a fairly extensive network of bike trails. There's a couple of hundred feet of elevation with a few steep sections. Trails are decently blazed.
Vista, secluded lake, birds, interesting understory and a maze of trail system.
