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.

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.

★★★★★ — Vanessa , Jan 2022

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.

★★★★★ — Mark , Nov 2023

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.

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.
