We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Little River Preserve yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Little River Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (10 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Went a few days after a snow fall, and I found the white trail very challenging in just my winter boots- the sign did not exaggerate. Beautiful, a few trail options, and everything was well marked.

★★★★★ — Jill , Dec 2020

The blue and red trails are very nice, while the white trail was much more challenging and not terribly well maintained. Just be cautioned that some of the bridges are not in the best of shape on white.

★★★★☆ — Cole , May 2019

Blue is a nice trail, white a little more challenging and wonky bridges, proceed at own risk, but very nice overall

★★★★☆ — Birgit , May 2019
