Confirmed from Oakfield Railroad Prairie State Natural 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.

Awesome hiking trail, especially if you're looking for a easy, nice level trail. It is on an old railroad bed. Lots of nature. And if you go at sunset you may even catch the crazy turkeys flying to get in the trees for the night!
