Confirmed from Wilbour Woods' 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.
Nature area featuring a loop path that wanders through woods, by a pond and past a stream.

“Beautiful atmosphere, peaceful, complete with wall to wall nature.”
Nice spot to take a walk. Not a lot of parking, so keep that in mind as well as you might lose cell reception. Pretty area to walk, dogs are welcome but it can be a wet/muddy place. Nice stream winding through the area with trout fishing.
Beautiful place.Great place to walk around see the streams and fish or walk your dog.
Beautiful walk around a pond on a dirt road. We are coming back to barbecue on their built in grills this week. Very quiet and natural setting. Small area.
Trails are wide, excellent for walking if you need to use cane(s). Haven't tried a wheelchair but it looks doable if not easy.
