Confirmed from The Dan Waugh nature trail'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 Dan Waugh nature trail
Nice little walking Nature Trail across from David Fortier River Park. Check out the Rocky River, the old quarry, and Charles a Harding Memorial Bridge.
A great place for me and my pup to have a peaceful walk with hardly any bother from the city noise, Get out there and make the most of it make sure to take a walk down by the river too one of the nicest areas if I do say so myself
