Confirmed from Natural Resources Trust'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.

“Clean, scenic, and my 2 year old loves to see the animals!”

Nice trails, picnic area, animals to see. Perfect for little ones. Free parking and port-a-loos.

★★★★★ — Kara , Aug 2017

Such a cool spot ! Great place to walk with small kids or persons with mobility issues!

★★★★★ — Mary , Jul 2021

I went to a Fair there with adults and kids. We were fortunate to have a good day. There was something for everyone; resources, craft activities for children, silent auctions, animal displays, pony rides, products for sale, basic food and beverage choices, and a great walking path.

★★★★★ — Linda , Oct 2019

Still getting to know this place, but we had a great before-dinner walk to say hi to the animals. Just a touch bumpy for the (very young) baby's stroller, but a jogger would have no problem on the gravel/pavement. Looking forward to exploring more trails!

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.
