Confirmed from Locust Corner Nature Area & Trails' 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 Locust Corner Nature Area & Trails
“They surrounding area is very clean and well kept.”
“**All trail intersections are well marked and easy to follow.”
This is a beautiful park. The playground equipment is in good condition and a nice plethora of things to choose to play on. They surrounding area is very clean and well kept. The bathrooms there are great when you have kids. They are clean which is even better. There is a large stage area. The trails are also awesome.
~2-mile mix of grass and dirt trails for walking/jogging. (Pictures of playground are from the alternate location about 1 mile away.) :grass trails are easily wide enough to walk side by side. Mostly flat and accessible to beginners. Largely next to the open field.
This is a very nice park. The kids had fun playing on the playground. We also enjoyed walking the trails. We had the entire park to ourselves the whole time we were there.
Great nature hike however it was quite muddy for it not raining for a couple days. Highly recommend when the warm weather kicks in since it is very shaded!
