We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Oxford Mountain Natural Resource Area, park, hiking trails, history yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Oxford Mountain Natural Resource Area, park, hiking trails, history

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (6 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Awesome to finally have this accessible with hiking encouraged! Growing up, the history of the mountain always seemed like a ghost tale and only brave souls actually ventured into the woods to unveil the truth. Now we can all explore and see the beauty for ourselves without worrying if we are trespassing.

★★★★★ — Sharlette , Aug 2023

Nice walking area in ruins of the history is spread throughout the woods pretty interesting area
