Confirmed from Wilkus Farm Preserved Open Space'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“Gorgeous bit of land that used to be an operating dairy farm.”

This is a section of property including across the Street and another parcel off of Thornbush. The babbling brook winds it's way under the road between, and while a sort of path around the fields has been trodden, there is not a "trail".

★★★★★ — The , Feb 2021

Beautiful open space with bike rack and bench! Saw 2 deer run through this morning at 6am
