Confirmed from Sandy Ridge Sanctuary'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.
Nature preserve with a playground and picnic tables, plus a habitat for tropical wildlife.
What runners say about Sandy Ridge Sanctuary
“, especially Murphy for keeping the Sanctuary so clean!”
“Beautiful Sanctuary with an excellent tour conducted by the legendary Mr.”
“It's shaded and surrounded by picnic tables, making it a perfect spot to enjoy some outdoor time with the family.”
“Great Park to walk through ride your bike very peaceful it's quiet a lot of trees great place to visit”
My wife and I enjoyed our visit. We walked the trail on the outskirts. We observed two Red-bellied Woodpeckers and a few squirrels during our walk. The nature preserve, sanctuary cannot be accessed without appointment or a guided tour. A guided nature tour of the sanctuary was posted near the restrooms.
Love the paved walkway throughout the natural habitat! Not sure how long the path is but a decent size! Wish it was longer but love the shaded areas and some picnic tables for a nice picnic lunch!
Beautiful relaxing park environment. Well kept shady walking trails for day time. Kind of secluded so walk on groups with some pepper spray, ladies!
