Confirmed from Kopf Family Reservation'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 Kopf Family Reservation
“Had no idea this existed but it was very pretty, quiet, well kept, and I saw Barred Owls!”
Great place to walk your dog or take a jog. Well maintained trails and loads of green shade overhead if you go at the right season.
Wonderful walking trails. Bring bug spray, didn't think I would need to use, nearly eaten alive
Best trails i’ve ever been to. I feel so lucky to have this so close to where I live. I love to run and walk here! The main trails are nice and mostly paved and there are also other little trails too which usually aren’t crowded at all. love it here
Nice trail, mostly flat, dog friendly with plenty of wastebaskets and waste stations along trail. Many benches along the trail too. And depending on how far you go, you pass through a park with a playground that also has another restroom
