Confirmed from Margery Gallogly Nature Center'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 Margery Gallogly Nature Center
“Well-marked trails with wooden boardwalks where needed to avoid marshy spots.”
Some earth trails, some wooden boardwalks. The trail connects to the adjacent Nike Missile Base Park to the West.
A beautiful sanctuary tucked away in the woods, with lovely trails winding through hardwood stands and around vernal ponds. Well-marked trails with wooden boardwalks where needed to avoid marshy spots.
I enjoyed this serene walk. Wet areas are covered by boards making it a nice hike. No dogs are allowed so keep that in mind if you head out.
