Confirmed from Vickers Nature 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 Vickers Nature Preserve
“Use to be a beautiful well kept place when they were having horse events there.”
Trails through the woods give you a nice walk. But will be wet for days after a rain. Grassy areas not well mowed. Use to be a beautiful well kept place when they were having horse events there.
I had a good walk on the horse trails. Very muddy in spots, but nothing unexpected for horse trails. In better condition than others in Ohio. The forest is a nice regrowth, provided plenty of shade and has healthy undergrowth with mayapples and few invasive species, with some but not overrun with poison ivy.
This place is beautiful and the trails are great. It breaks my heart to see two arena's and 3 beautiful stables UNUSED.
The equestrian facilities are fantastic. Hope to check out some of the trails next visit. Finally had time for some of the trails. They are nicely kept.
