Confirmed from The Blackall Family 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 The Blackall Family Preserve
Definitely have to watch your step. Lots of roots and rocks on some slanted trails. One large fallen tree detours you off the trail. Overall it was a good challenge.
Nice relaxing place to walk trails. We've only walked the easiest one (blue trail) but hope to explore the more challenging one at some point.
Plan your run at The Blackall Family Preserve
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
