Confirmed from Wilber 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.

Love this park! There are terrific paths throughout the park. A large playground for kids is surrounded by fields perfect for flying a kite. A covered pavilion with picnic tables and public bathrooms is close to the playground. Be sure to check out the Little Free Library while you're there.

★★★★★ — Anne , Sep 2023

Fun playground for young children, designed for 1-5 years of age, but older children will enjoy the set up as well. Then it's fun to take a walk on the several trails and explore the creeks.

★★★★☆ — Wen , Feb 2023

Great little park! Was very thankful for a cold swim en route to Vermont from the south to wake me up! Nominal fee for out of towners

★★★★★ — Jacquie , Jul 2021

very nice little walk for the kids before we go to walk around town. once you cross the bridge someone has developed a "Fairyland" along the trail where there is lots of little fairy galleries and little dioramas set up with fairies doing things.

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.
