Confirmed from Timm Preserve County Park'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.
Wooded nature preserve with 2 mi. of easy walking trails for humans and dogs.

This place is great. Trails are maintained very well. No really steep inclines, and a few really nice boardwalks over some beautiful wetlands. Took the dog and he loved it just as much as I did. Will be going back many times. There's good parking available and a drop box for the entry fee of $4/day.
Very well maintained trails..very leisure and peaceful.Watch for rattlesnakes..just be prepared be safe..we also experienced a fairly large black dog on the loose in the park. I'm only stating this to warn people ..just be safe
Beautiful place to walk around at. Much bigger since they expanded it.
