We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Periwinkle Hiking Trail 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 Periwinkle Hiking Trail
“The first 1/2 mile is a storybook trail has recently been woodchipped for easy walking.”
Trail is well marked. The first 1/2 mile is a storybook trail has recently been woodchipped for easy walking. Lots of spiders and poison ivy. Several lake views along the way. We started at Wildwood and it ends at the archery field. We didn't see any restroom facilities at the archery end.
Easy trail that is accessed directly across the highway from Wildwood Marina. First half mile has some fun interactive guides for kids of all ages. At about .6 miles it has a river view. I only had time for one mile out and ba k but it goes to a camp at 1.8.
