Confirmed from Spicer Creek Wildlife Management 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 Spicer Creek Wildlife Management Area
“Lots of nice covered paved walk area and some great views of the river.”
Nice short walk along paved/stone dust trails. Two bird blinds to sit and chat in. Great place to view birds fishing, swimming and doing birdy things. Saw a Great Blue Heron, Kingfisher, and Vireo. Late May there were lots of May flies but nothing biting.
Super cool walk to and along the east branch of the Niagara river across from North Tonawanda. Lots of nice covered paved walk area and some great views of the river.
Check with specific requirements in Beaver Island park office. Other than that great place for short hike and overlook.
Great hunting with so many huge bucks there. Easily can tag out just walk away from other people and sit still
