Confirmed from Miller Woods Trail'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.

“Beautiful, easy trail in quiet setting.”

Highly recommend this 1.25 mile trail loop. Level along the water with beautiful views. After that there is an uphill to the top of the loop and downhill back where walking sticks would be advised for those less sure-footed. Dirt path. Well maintained. And, our dog loved it!

Real fun hike. An indian village was here in the 1750s , Iwas imagining what it would have been like then. Sugar maple trees line the trail that they tapped to get the syrup. SRU students are conducting a dig to find Indian artifacts.

Fantastic walk. A lot of the trail is cleared of fallen trees, but some of the off trail paths still had broken tree filled walk ways. The space in the tree opening is amazing. If it's been raining a few days before, a few extra puddles. Overall, the creeks were beautiful and a very peaceful trail.

★★★★☆ — Mariah , Oct 2018

Great place to take the family and your dog(s) to hike to the creek. Fun for all ages, easy hiking. Trails on both sides of the bridge. Enjoy swimming and fishing or simply relaxing. Put in a paddle board, tubing, or canoe. Great for viewing a wide variety of wild flowers as well.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
