Confirmed from Twenty-Sixth Street Woods-West'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.
Natural area for hiking, with a paved path for walking and biking, plus deer, ducks and goats.
What runners say about Twenty-Sixth Street Woods-West
“Beautiful trail connects between Brookfield Woods from the East and Brezina Woods in the West.”
This is a great place for a family reunion or to celebrate a birthday or to simply park your vehicle, grab your bike and jump on the amazing bike trail! For me though, it the fishing. There’s also some neat little paths and beautiful woods. Negatives?
Great trail for walking. Lots of deer. Folks biking, jogging, walking dogs, kids scooting and hiking with family.
Beautiful walk, none stop. You have rest stops along the way if needed.
I've visited on both weekday & weekend mornings, midday & early evenings. The woods are a nice place to go. Midday is the busiest time. There are some picnic tables, the trails are really nice, & you usually get to see deer.
