Confirmed from Perrin Woods Park'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.

“However it is and has always been clean every time that I have went over to it.”

Impressive old forest for a city location! It took me a little while to find the trail head, it’s on the north side of the woods (see pic), there really should be a park map. Quite large tree specimens with a high canopy and active bird life. I had a relaxing and shady walk.

This is a great place.. I hold this park high on my list of things to do when I was 11, 12 and 13 yrs. It is a nature preserve.. good place to learn about nature and run wild as a kid..

★★★★★ — Damon , Dec 2018

It’s a small park with a historical marker a picnic area and some trails. Nothing to fancy but appears to be a nice little neighborhood park and trail.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
