Confirmed from Walnut Woods Conservation Area'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 Walnut Woods Conservation Area

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (17 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Excellent, well-maintained trails. Could have been better with some maps posted throughout the trails for those who could get lost easily. Beautiful location.

★★★★★ — Jess , Jun 2017

There's a long windy path made for dirt biking, but is perfect for taking the dog for a nature hike. There's a big pond that's kind of cool to look at, but way gross if your dog tries to get near it.

★★★★☆ — Chance , Apr 2017

Nice trails, beautiful place to get away. The GPS does lead you to a house though.
