Confirmed from Webb Mountain Discovery Zone'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.

“Easy access and worth the trip for a beautiful break in the monotony of life.”

I have been walking and hiking here for many years. It’s a fantastic place to bring family & friends (2 legged and 4 legged) 😂 Beautiful natural surroundings with a nice small selection of loops and trails that are clearly marked and well maintained.

What a great place! Excellent place for kids. Plenty of trails to hike. Plenty of picnic tables around. 2 port-o-lets in the parking lot area. Suggest to bring water as I didn't see any type of fountain, Trail maps provided. Scavenger hunt there too! Still fun in 35 degrees and cold rain! Will definitely be back!

I've been visiting this park for years. It is a great place for the kids to explore, learn about the local habitat, and get exposure to various terrains. They do have some lengthy trails in my opinion.

★★★★★ — Jason , Jun 2019

This is a great new spot in Monroe to take the kids on a nature walk. They have a small butterfly garden off to the side and a few trails to go on. They have a scavenger hunt sheet to go threw along the walk and some really great areas on the trails to tell about the area, animals in the area and you may be able to…

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
