Confirmed from Warren Nature 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 Warren Nature Area
This is part of Shunga Trail and Big Shunga Park in mid-town Topeka. I see deer here often as I bike in the trails, from the pic you can see they will stand close to you. The warren trails are cut out grass trails in the natural preserve area. They are marked out and our nice also.
