Confirmed from Westport Woods Conservation Park'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 Westport Woods Conservation Park
“Its relaxing, quiet, clean, beautiful, peaceful, colorful, aromatic, and romantic just to say the least.”
“It's set somewhat on a beautiful hillside area not a stone's throw away from grays mill pond and west branch westport river.”

“Dog friendly with multiple well kept trails.”
In my God's honest opinion It was naturally not natural, as in it was a gravel pathway. Mini dog playground, some carved wood musical instruments staged on the sides of the pathways, native and unnative plants set along some parts of the trails.
Not a bad little trail. Brings back memories for me as I worked at the youth home there in the late 90s. Glad to see it is being used the way it is. Great spot to buy lunch at a local shop and go picnic there. Some people are absolute slobs and don't clean up after themselves or their dogs.
A great property with nice trails. There's also a children's Discovery garden as well as other displays that a child would find interesting. You'll also find several picnic tables. A very relaxing spot.
Beautiful shady trail. Never crowded during the week. Just over 1 mile is the main trail. Groomed well also.
