Confirmed from Sharp's Woods Preserve'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 Sharp's Woods Preserve
A fun experience - hiking in the woods with a stream, flowers, fallen trees to walk over, and so much more! You can even spot animals like birds, deer and rodents! I've been coming to sharps for a few years now, and it's always been a wholsome, enjoyable time!
Beautiful growth and stream. With a little love this could be a renewed treasure. Bridge was out, a tree down~so blocked some of the trails. Tadpoles was a nice surprise. 🐸
It’s nothing like what that animal portrays in his show Mare of Easttown. This is actually a very nice wooded walking trail in an upper class neighborhood.
Nice trails along small creeks with bridge crossings. Flickers and red-bellied woodpeckers calling and skunk cabbage stinking.
