Confirmed from Tweedy And Barnes 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Beautiful scenery and walking trails.”

Beautiful hike. My only problem was with the parking situation. *So* little parking (a little dirt inlet kind of carved out at the mouth of the trail, fits about 3 compact cars and a dirt bike), and just fair warning- there's not enough room to pull your vehicle off and park on the side of the street- your car will…

★★★★★ — Sarah , Mar 2021

Lovely spot. Nicely marked paths and a bit of history. I liked the info boards along the way.

★★★★★ — Helen , Jan 2018

Nice easy to walk trail that ends at a former train bridge. I went during the week and didn't see any other people which is a bonus.

★★★★☆ — Scott , Oct 2023

A little hard to find, but it's totally worth it. Beautiful scenery and walking trails.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
