Confirmed from Rogers Park Conservation Area'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.
What runners say about Rogers Park Conservation Area
“Very nice place to walk a dog, or to get out of the house for a bit, if you make it to the end there is a nice place to walk out in the rocks and take in a great view!”
“Family AND dog-friendly conservation area with three different trails that offer amazing views of Spruce Creek.”
Family AND dog-friendly conservation area with three different trails that offer amazing views of Spruce Creek. A hidden gem that's been popular with locals for decades. Can be quite muddy three-quarters of the year, so dress appropriately.
Great park, especially for young kids and dogs. Easy trails through some nice wooded areas and down by ocean. Only downside is some people with have unleashed (and out of control) dogs, and not pick up after dogs, so keep an eye out.
DOG FRIENDLY! Wide trails, GREAT water views, plenty of parking space. Even though it is not allowed, there are tons of off leash dogs. Be prepared for that. But, I would still recommend!
I like going there early for birdwatching. (There's a wood thrush that hangs out in the trees and if you are lucky, you might be able to hear its flutelike song!) The trails are nicely maintained, though it can be muddy after a good rain, so be mindful to wear appropriate shoes.
