Confirmed from Wildlands Trust - Hoyt-Hall Preserve'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.
Nature preserve offering kid-friendly hikes and opportunities to enjoy peace and quiet.
What runners say about Wildlands Trust - Hoyt-Hall Preserve
“Beautiful nonetheless and you’ll get a work out.”
“Usually wouldn't leave a review because there's not much parking and it's my favorite place to go for piece and quiet but I guess that's fair enough to share.”
“Easy hike 🚶♀️👌 30 minutes for the loop”
Spectacular trail system. I remember walking these trails and more over 35+ years ago before they built housing developments in much of the area I walked through. Sad about the development but happy they saved at least some of the trail system.
Only 2-3 parking spots. And it is a hiking trail not a walking trail. Very hill. Probably not ideal for elderly or small children. Beautiful nonetheless and you’ll get a work out. Didn’t hike too far due to the terrain and snow. Across from a lake/pond.
Love this place it's So peaceful. Close to home, Marked trails, 1.7 miles. Shhhhhhh don't tell too many people. ;-)
Aweso.e place to go for a hike. Usually wouldn't leave a review because there's not much parking and it's my favorite place to go for piece and quiet but I guess that's fair enough to share. This time of year especially
