Confirmed from Oakley Corners State Forest'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.
State park featuring forested trails and ponds for hiking and biking.
What runners say about Oakley Corners State Forest
“Beautiful scenery, well maintained paths, not a lot of foot traffic (only ran into 4 people during my hike).”
“Beautiful ponds, wonderful trails, and easy to bring the little ones along for a hike or mini camping trip ☺️”
“It's shared with mountain bikers and hunters (during hunting season) but isn't ever crowded and has quite varied terrain and a variety of well-marked and easy to navigate trails.”
“Beautiful, quiet trails with enough variation in difficulty for any experience”
One of my favorite places in the area! Beautiful ponds, wonderful trails, and easy to bring the little ones along for a hike or mini camping trip ☺️
Beautiful hike on a warm November day! One can park on the corner of Dutchtown and Hullsville .. the trailhead is right there. A map of the trails is on a board there, take a photo of it l This was my first time there, and I got confused as to what trail to take to take to complete the four mile hike outlined in red…
Can’t believe I’ve lived near this park my whole life and had never gone. Awesome place to explore. It’s one of my favorite local hike spots now. Beautiful place.
Beautiful hiking and camping spot. The trails are gorgeous and very well maintained!
