Confirmed from Randolph Woods' 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.
What runners say about Randolph Woods
“Great run in the shade and is paved real nice.”

Enjoyed a nice Sunday nature walk over the river and through the Randolph woods to Greentree Park. Thank you Commonwealth of PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for bringing communities together.
Nice getaway tucked away on the edge of town. Went on a Sunday morning and was the only one there. Good series of loop trails that are not well marked but are easy enough to follow and connect to each other. Total distance is not that much so difficult to get lost even if not knowing the way.
Great place to relax with the family. We love to walk down with the kids after a day of work and school.
Off season, so many items were not available. What impressed me was the availability in the middle of Malvern. Rustic trails but poor trail markings make it less than excellent, but anyone with a sense of direction should be able to find their way back.
