Confirmed from Strawberry Fields Nature Preserve'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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (13 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Nice walk on some beautiful acres of land.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“The meadow is peaceful and is a gorgeous view, too!”

Nice walk on some beautiful acres of land. Most of the trail is exposed and not in the woods so keep that in mind. Some wet areas but nothing out of the ordinary

★★★★★ — Antonia , Apr 2021

A beautiful nature trail! Lots of birds, dense forest, and gorgeous nature - love this trail! The meadow is peaceful and is a gorgeous view, too!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
