Confirmed from Island 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.

Nice little trail in a neighborhood. Short loop with connecting trails-
Very nice setting , walkable trails and I'm sure in the spring many birds will be around.
Doing volunteer work removing invasive weeds. It's a nice easy walk around the Preserve.
