Confirmed from Tillman Road Wildlife Management Area'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.
Spacious park, offering hiking trails through swamps, marshes, fields, and woods.
What runners say about Tillman Road Wildlife Management Area
“Beautiful place to hike or look for wildlife.”
“It is generally an easy walk for most (not wheelchair or handicap friendly).”
Drove by Tillman Road Wildlife Park and felt compelled to check it out. It is generally an easy walk for most (not wheelchair or handicap friendly). There are some inclines with loose gravel / sand along with some narrowing trails. It was dry when we went, as there hasn't been any measure able rain in a month.
These pictures were taken in early January. This is a diamond in the rough of hiking trails. I was not able to hike all of it due to the fact that the trails were relatively muddy, and my shoes were not proper for this occasion, but there seems to be a very beautiful spot to immerse yourself in nature, amidst the town…
This is a great place to take a walk. You can make it short or as long as you would like. there are plenty of things to discover here. I like to ride my mountain bike through all the wooded paths. Or I have snowshoed and crosscounty skied here I almost always get to meet interesting people along the way.
Beautiful place to hike or look for wildlife. It has a couple sections with water where you can find fish, turtles, and frogs. There is a bird viewing area, and you can find snakes in a lot of spots. Nice to visit any time of year. Definitely worth visiting
