Confirmed from Templin Woods 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.
What runners say about Templin Woods Preserve
“This well marked trail has or 400 feet of elevation change over its three miles.”
“Wide and gentle loop through quiet woodlands.”
This preserve has over 500 acres of forest. The trail is a loop that is about 8 feet wide and is well maintained. However there are a few spots that could use improved drainage. This well marked trail has or 400 feet of elevation change over its three miles. Parking is limited. There is a porta-potty.
Really nice trail through a forested area. Hiked after a snow and saw lots of animal tracks, deer, turkey, fox, rabbit, raccoon, etc. Also saw lots of birds, including a juvenile bald eagle.
This is a well-marked loop trail with gentle to moderate ups and downs. Hiking boots are recommended to safely navigate those stretches with loose rocks underfoot, particularly in autumn when the trail is hidden by leaves. The dominant trees are oak, maple, tulip tree, and beech with an occasional shagbark hickory.
Great 3 mile hike on the loop trail... Relatively easy, but does have a good little up hill and down hill sections ... Lots of tracks of animals in the snow, but we only saw a few small ones here and there. A little marshry in places, so either wait till dry periods of time or wear really good boots.
