Confirmed from Sherburne Nature 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.
Wooded area with hiking trails for all ages plus picturesque scenery.
What runners say about Sherburne Nature Center
“The entrance for the Nature Center is beautiful and scenic.”
“Trails are well marked and mostly dry now.”
“Very dog friendly early in the morning before 700 am”
The entrance for the Nature Center is beautiful and scenic. Lots of trails in the woods and is perfect place for dogs. It’s very quiet and definitely a hidden gem.
Love this place. It’s has a variety of terrain, mostly in the form of trees with some cute bridges. Easy to follow the trail signs. It’s perfect for a walk in the woods for families with kids or senior citizens. Only down side is parking is a little confusing.
Great place to hike with young ones. The trail lengths are perfect for little kids. A variety of biomes - the field is incredible in summer with butterflies and wildflowers. Watch out for poison ivy. Fun bridges to cross, the pond has a breeze that keeps the mosquitoes at bay and the dragonflies span the rainbow.
Lots of trails, cute benches through out. Kid and dog friendly (leashed)! Nice scenery an Plenty of parking. Will be visiting again.
