Confirmed from Westville 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.

We love coming to walk in Westville! It's one of Melville & Tullah's favorite spots.

★★★★★ — Mimi , Jul 2024

I had the pleasure of exploring Westville conservation land today. This place is serene with many trails to explore. Birds singing, Hawks flying. They have trails that are wide and flat winding throughout the grounds with smaller trails throughout the woods and different terrain.

This place is what I call a Hidden Gem.. There are so many beautiful views, well groomed trails , and just very peaceful. The parking lot is small ,which is fine because there's hardly a time when there's more than two cars in it lol...

★★★★★ — Christine , May 2023

There are many new trails at the Westville Conservation Area! You can walk through the different fields and through the woods with views of the Three Mile River! A great place for a family hike!

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.
