Confirmed from Luellen R Woughter Nature Reserve'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 Luellen R Woughter Nature Reserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Enjoyed hiking these trails for the first time with my family-kids ages 7 and 9. Will definitely be back.

★★★★★ — Amanda , Mar 2024

Wooded unmarked trails. Hopefully this nature area can be developed in the future for better use by Oakland County residents.

★★★★★ — Thea , Sep 2025

Beautiful and pristine nature trail! On the north side of the OCC Campus, with various entry points. Some hilly areas but overall an easy hike.

★★★★★ — Linda , Oct 2025
