Confirmed from The George & Woodward H. Griswold 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 George & Woodward H. Griswold Preserve
This fifty-one acre preserve is a good stop for a quick walk during the right time of year -- too many bugs in the summer. I enjoyed stopping at the fish ladder.
Hidden gem. Walk can be quick or long depending on how you decide to take the trails. Have enjoyed mountain biking here too. Remember to leash your dogs!
