Confirmed from Wassermann Lake 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 Wassermann Lake Preserve
Nice little nature preserve. Main area is paved and has a unique play area for kids (not a traditional playground). There are restrooms and a handful of benches and picnic tables throughout the park. The trail to the boardwalk is gravel so it's a bit challenging with strollers or wagons.
Very clean and natural look. Fun hiking, views, unique play options for kids, and geocaching.
Nice park, shelter with rest rooms, walking paths, unique picnic areas, learning opportunities
