Confirmed from Graham Oaks Nature Park'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.
250-acre park offering trails through oak & conifer forests, plus a wetland for bird-watching.
What runners say about Graham Oaks Nature Park
“Plenty of sign, natural environment, not a super clean bathroom but acceptable.”
“Not a place you go to hike, but instead, to walk through a beautiful wooded area that seems to come out of nowhere.”

“Petowners Please Note: there is very little to no shade along the walking trails.”
“Very easy hike with beautiful wild flowers all around.”
It’s a beautiful nature preserve. We keep visiting this place to walk, bike, jog etc.. Kids love this place Sometimes you can get to see deers, rabbits/hare and different types of birds here. Well maintained restrooms and parking area. There are picnic areas as well.
Beautiful park to walk, jog or ride your bike. Bikes and dogs are allowed only on main path. Very easy hike with beautiful wild flowers all around. Got to see deer, snake and bald eagle. Some of the trails are shaded and some are not. If you decide to do all trails it’s about 3 miles and it’s very easy.
We love visiting this location! Not a place you go to hike, but instead, to walk through a beautiful wooded area that seems to come out of nowhere. The path is paved through the grassy portions, but is gravel through the woods. It is fairly flat and many people ride bikes, skate, walk, or run here.
This is a wonderful park with two different kinds of trails. There is a paved trail that loops back and forth through the park that is accessible for bikes, dogs, and other pedestrian traffic. There are also gravel trails that are for walking and running only.
