Confirmed from Wildlife Images Rehabilitation & Education Center'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.

Non-profit facility featuring bears, eagles, wolves and other rescued wildlife in natural habitats.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“The enclosures are clean and you can tell are maintained by staff that care about the animals and the work they do.”

Definitely off of the path. But worth looking up and driving out to! The animals have large enclosures and are very social. So amazing being so up close and personal with these amazing animals. All of the staff seemed very knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy working there.

★★★★★ — Jamie , Jun 2024

These folks were AMAZING. The animals had safe and natural habitats. They seemed to be comfortable and some even happy to be on display. The crow had a little rehersed hence she would do and even said "hello." She made a big racket when you tried to walk away. The otters were FANTASTIC!

★★★★★ — Sulea , Apr 2024

Wildlife Images does an amazing job of keeping the animals taken care of. The enclosures are clean and you can tell are maintained by staff that care about the animals and the work they do. Our absolute favorite tenant there was Gilbert the 1 year old Grizzly Bear.

★★★★★ — Amber , Jun 2025

What a great place to take the kiddos, do a field trip, or just walk through solo. Not only is there lots of little and big animals to see, but the money raised goes to help these and other animals in the future.
