Confirmed from Glenwood Park Nature Trail'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.
Small park featuring a boardwalk where turtles can be spotted, plus trails for hiking and biking.
What runners say about Glenwood Park Nature Trail
Its a nice little park.With the nature trails you can see the free animals that are there. Bring some bug spray it helps. I like walking or ride my bike on the nature trails an the work out spots are nice too. Be careful on the board walk it is slippery in some places.
Nice little city park! Hidden gem. Looks like it's been cleaned up a bit over the years. Nice short easy walk.
