Confirmed from Sunny Valley Preserve offices' 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 Sunny Valley Preserve offices
Keep this place a secret. Beautiful fields and some nice hills make this a great place to take your pet for a stroll
Great place to take a quick hike. Has both some meadow area and woods so there is a bunch of variety. Highly recommend.
Nice little hiking trail that goes around a few hills in the Rt. 7 New Milford area (near the High School, going toward Brookfield). Would go again!
Nice diversion from the other preserves in the area. Trails are well marked and doable with your dog!
