Confirmed from Miller Nature Preserve'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 Miller Nature Preserve
“The area is beautiful as well, love the area!”
More of a 3.5 compared to other parks I've been to. It's beautiful and there are a lot of butterflies on the trail (small ones), but there were no benches on the trail anywhere, and at the end, it was just a total dropoff into a creek kind of far below. There used to be caution tape, but it needs a fence.
Beautiful course near Black River. Lots of dog rights and plenty of hills. Awesome condition! I'm gonna come back as a regular!
