Confirmed from Irwin Run Conservation 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 Irwin Run Conservation Area
“Nice quiet walk withbthe family, screech owl hanging our in his house.”
Wide, flat gravel path follows wetland areas and small creeks, lots of birds, very pleasant 3.8 mile round trip walk.
Very peaceful. Great for walking or running and for observing a variety of wildlife. One of my favorite places!
