Confirmed from Wildlands Trust - Stewart/Person 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.

What runners say about Wildlands Trust - Stewart/Person Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (21 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Splendid hiking place, so calm and peaceful with 3 lakes.”

Good short trail system lots of rocks and roots along the trail path. Saw some cute rocks that someone had made and left along the Trailway, made me start looking for them which was interesting.

★★★★☆ — Joseph , Mar 2021

Parking on Sylvia Place entrance is only big enough for about 2 cars/trucks, just be warned. Nice path, very rooty, so watch your step. We took our dogs and enjoyed a nice walk around the pond. Havent explored the other paths yet.

★★★★★ — Kate , Nov 2018

Scenic pond views with colonial era cellar hole and 1930's operational fish ladder. Walking trails can be narrow, steep and rooty.

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.
