Confirmed from Katan - Ensor 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.
What runners say about Katan - Ensor Preserve
I enjoy photographing the barn and open space at the trailhead. Latest photo: December 2022. Thank you, Granby Land Trust, for all the work you do to maintain your properties.
This is a nice preserve with well marked trails. There are 3 in total. I've taken yellow trail this time and it lead me to a hill with an amazing overlook on top. And it is equipped with a bench, so you can spend some time in comfort and silence. The parking is there, it fits about 4-5 cars.
I enjoyed this since you got a mix of trails blue, red, and the yellow goes pretty far out and their is a view point. its easy to find as well since your going to the end of the road and their is a sign for the preserve. a little rocky though and steep in places for running but I've done a lot harder
