Confirmed from Pickering Creek Audubon Center'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.
Peaceful trails through marshes and pine forest showcasing native flora and fauna.
What runners say about Pickering Creek Audubon Center
“25, 2024) and was amazed by the reflections of trees in water, red and gold leaves everywhere, beautiful paths, open meadows, marsh grass, scattered evergreen trees, and on and on.”
“Well marked trails and different habitats - keep an eye on ebird sightings.”
“Lovely easy walking trails with many interesting lookouts over water and fields.”
Beautiful location for bird viewing and hiking. There's also a small garden, a poet's house and bee keeping. Other than that it is not landscaped, it is a natural habitat with trails. Very tranquil. The proximity to Easton, Oxford and St. Michael's makes it a great day trip.
Really well maintained trail. It's short enough to be long, and long enough to be short. We loved the diversity of plants, flowers and wildlife. Lots of butterflies, birds and frogs. We took our 2 year old, and he enjoyed walking the trail, exploring the plants and having the dragon flies whizz by his head.
A real gem! We arrived late afternoon to witness geese calling on their own to settle down for the evening. Lovely easy walking trails with many interesting lookouts over water and fields. Beautifully planned Audubon owned Park setting. Bunny did not move for over 5 minutes completely.
A nice place to spend as little as an hour or as long as you want. Natural habitat with a number of different trails through the marshes.
