Confirmed from Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge'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.
Forested wildlife area for hiking, bird-watching, fishing & biking as well as kayaking.

“Truly a beautiful setting easily accessed from major thoroughfares but the city seems to disappear when you enter the park.”

Love this place! Walking trails, wildlife, gorgeous nature! We saw a bald eagle flying over once too! That was pretty incredible❤️. Highly recommend for easy trails and a fun family outing.
Very nice place to walk and see lots of beautiful scenery and nice views of the Canadian river. lots of foliage, trees , cliffs just a nice place for family or couples or alone. Also more private trails through the trees and foliage. This time of year I have been twice lately and not many people.

I went during hunting season. I was not aware until I got a bit down the path. It is a really nice reserve. I found several mushrooms, evidence of beavers, water fowl, a lovely river, and so much more. It was Avery nice walk.
