Confirmed from Keil Birch Creek 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 Keil Birch Creek Preserve
Very pretty place to walk, trail is just the right length for a nice hike after work. Parking is a bit awkward as its in a neighborhood, but thats no big deal. Main trail is easy to walk, side trails can get a bit steep tho.
Such a beautiful little nature preserve/park. So many people don’t even know about it. Highly recommend taking an hour and walking through the paths.
For a neighbor walk in the woods, it doesn’t get much better than this. For the adventurous, you can find two or three paths down to the creek and river. For those looking for the soothing sound of the river and maybe a rooster call, staying on top of the main path is a quick treat. Lots of flora and fauna here too!
It’s a great place to take a jog, and used to be good for biking. It’s got great scenery in the spring and fall.
