Confirmed from Oak Hill Conservation Area'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 Oak Hill Conservation Area
“It is a beautiful trail covers 2 miles.”
It is a beautiful trail covers 2 miles. The trail is not well marked, you may find difficulty in where to start / enter the trail, when you see “Authorized vehicles only” board. That board is not for walking /running people.
UPDATE: Took a new trail today, and added pics of the lookout over the highway. Pretty Cool. Beautiful trails. I enjoyed a lovely Fall walk. I will be going back to explore more of the trail. Be advised that the trailhead is no where near the sign. I had to find it.
