Confirmed from Wilkins Greenway Trailhead'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 Wilkins Greenway Trailhead
“Beautiful place for my evening run, I'll be sure to come back every time I'm in the area!”
“So peaceful and beautiful.”
Beautiful trail. Connects small town Winder to Fort Yargo. Bamboo forest and small creek with wisteria along both sides of the trail.
The main gate at Fort Yargo State Park charges either for entry or parking. I'm not sure which one, though. This parking lot is free to park at, and you still have access to the state park. You will have to walk for about 20 minutes to arrive at the visitor center/main parking area from this parking lot.
This is a beautiful trail. Our favorite place to visit is the butterfly garden.
Beautiful trail! 2 mile round trip. The elevation sneaks up on you. Going toward Yargo there is a short incline at the end as you get to the visitor center. Coming back the last half mile inclines slightly the whole way.

“After driving through what I thought was a bad part of town, we found a tiny little parking spot and almost didn't spot the trail head.”
“Beautiful place for my evening run, I'll be sure to come back every time I'm in the area!”
“Well paved nice and clear trail all the way to the fort yargo visitor center.”
