Confirmed from White Brook 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.
Wildlife featuring small trails and picnic spots amid a wooded area, creek and wetland.
What runners say about White Brook Nature Area
“It’s quiet, clean and just out of the way enough to be left alone from the masses.”
“Beautiful park with cabin that is climate controlled for comfort on both cold and warm days.”
“We rented the building (lodge) and the shelter (pavilion) so as to have quiet for ourselves.”
The trail is nice to spot some animals like turtles and frogs. We saw plenty of them. When we went mid-may the water was mostly dried. Only some parts of the path were wet. Anyways, it was a pleasant walk to go with kids and enjoy nature.
This place is nice & private, far away from everywhere. The trails are marked & wide enough for a bicycle if you must. There is ONE pavillion to have a picnic under, there are 2 grills. I do belive you have to have a reservation for the building &/or pavilion. The parking here is free, w/ handicapped access, too.
The white brook trail is a favorite spot, though it was very soggy today due to Feb thaw. Much of the boardwalk was under water but muck boots save the day. Quiet, beautiful, and full of sights and critter sounds. A great place for big and little humans as well as dogs to play.
Not bad. The park area is fairly nice. I mainly came through for the crescent trail. The markings for crossing the street were really confusing and it took me a while to find how to get back on the trail. I would really appreciate if they worked to make it a bit easier
