Confirmed from Kroger Wetlands' 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.
Nature preserve featuring a loop trail that is popular for walks.
What runners say about Kroger Wetlands
“Nice, well kept nature trail.”
“I take walks during my lunch break thanks to its centralized location, and it’s always beautiful.”
“Easy trail, can be muddy, but pretty flat wide walking trail”
Great little loop to walk along and see tons of birds! It was almost like walking through a tunnel of vegetation at times. Easy path to follow. Dogs are allowed on leash.
Walked the loop, was serenaded by birds the whole time, quiet lovely, they sang loud enough that the traffic noise didn't drown them out. Had to look down more than I would have liked, I am not very sure footed and had to be careful
Great place for a walk any time. I take walks during my lunch break thanks to its centralized location, and it’s always beautiful.
Nice, well kept nature trail. There are bridges or rocks on all the muddy spots which makes for a clean hike!
