Confirmed from Stoppleworth Conservation 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 Stoppleworth Conservation Area
“Beautiful view at the top of the lookout, and if you look carefully you might be able to find owl droppings!”
Great conservation area. About 1.5 miles of trails that links to another 3+ miles of trails. Very peaceful, great views and pretty stream crossings.
Good parking, clean, not well traveled trail but very easy and not much to see. Connects to the Campbell trails though which is nice.
One of my favorite local trails. Beautiful view at the top of the lookout, and if you look carefully you might be able to find owl droppings! Which may not be exciting to some, but to bone enthusiasts, it's a great find! I once found a very beautiful vole skull in an owl pellet here.
Great trail,well marked,different footing,hills and flat,trails loop around and join together Lots of acorns down from storm. Highly recommend!
