Confirmed from Wahaneeta 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 Wahaneeta Preserve
“Beautiful trail system "hidden" in Westerly”
“Great trails clearly marked.”
“It's a nice quiet, clean place with easy trails and plenty of trail markers.”
An absolutely beautiful place to hike. Great trails that are well established and blazed well as well. We saw some amazing things while we were here and some wildlife too. Very easy hike as well. Absolutely recommend.
Wonderful former Girl Scout camp, with walking paths. Great place for a quick jaunt in nature. Also an excellent place to hold a special camping event (requires special permission from the Westerly Land Trust).
clean, quiet place to walk... make sure to wear orange during hunting season
We enjoyed our walk. It's a nice quiet, clean place with easy trails and plenty of trail markers. It's not buggy at all yet, but perhaps it will be later in the season.
