Confirmed from Hamburg Mountain 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.
What runners say about Hamburg Mountain Wildlife Management Area
“Beautiful section of woods easily accessible to suv vehicles.”
If you kept going up and over when you get off the lift at Mountain Creek, this is where you'd get to. Beautiful trails for hiking and XC mountain biking. There are several ponds for wishing that rarely get fished. Its often quiet here, with very little traffic.
Letting your dog run off-leash. No one around, only wildlife. What's not to like??
Such a quiet hidden spot for hiking and fishing. Very few people know about this area so you can really relax and enjoy nature. Roads aren't the best.
