Confirmed from Strasburg Nature Park Franklin Township'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 Strasburg Nature Park Franklin Township

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (8 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

At first it seems like a walk around a farm, but it really opens up to a pristine prairie, making it nicely deceiving. It’s also a nice touch that the first segment is paved so people who use wheel chairs can come enjoy the path.

★★★★☆ — Thirteendays , Aug 2024

I walk this path everyday, one part or another. It is wonderful we have this nature trail out here to enjoy.

★★★★★ — Carol , Dec 2023
