Confirmed from Wildman Hill'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 Wildman Hill
“chill af parking spot with great view, super secluded yet right off road didn't hike but like I said chill af”
I believe this is the hike that when I was in prison at Growlersburg Conservation Camp we would hike frequently to get us in shape for the fire season. It was petty rough.
