Confirmed from Maclvor Woods Loop'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 Maclvor Woods Loop
Beautiful tucked away little trail through the woods. Some slight elevations changes, which is unique for Marysville. Just under 1.5mi of trail. No bikes allowed, gravel path with a few wooden bridges over the creek. North entrance behind Kroger, South off Emmaus Rd.
Nice park for a stroll or to walk your pets, (BYO bags for clean up, none at the entrance). No bikes are permitted. Park at Krogers, street parking at the neighborhood entrance is very limited and on a busy curve.
Great loop trail that goes through the woods. It is a well maintained trail and a pleasant hike.
Who knew? Great little nature loop literally attached to Kroger parking lot. Once you are in the trail it quickly becomes nature and you don't see/hear the city. A few creeks meander through. Good trails. A few hills. Pleasantly surprised.
