Confirmed from Knofla 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.
Hiking area with 3 trails, including one along a ridge, suitable for children.

“Quiet walk on a well marked snow covered trail.”
“Quiet walk on a well marked snow covered trail.”
“Nice easy trails, but plenty of different places to try and ID”
I did the south side trail down to the pond today. I was not expecting the raw beauty, it was humbling and I was gobsmacked by it. Trail surface was nice and easy to navigate. It is down all the way in to the pond, so getting out is an uphill gradual climb.
Great trails - there are three different trails including a beautiful ridge trail. Just make sure to check yourself for ticks after hiking this trail system, as with the ridge trail especially, you pick up the unwelcome travelers.
Beautiful trail split between north and south parcels by a road. South side has a pond and north can connect you to other trails along Hunter Road.
This really isn't a hiking trail it's for all the wild animals and trees to persever nature, it is very beautiful conservation area. If you enjoy nature you'll appreciate this area!
