Confirmed from Wilson Hill Wildlife Management Area'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 Wilson Hill Wildlife Management Area
“Nice beautiful place in early December when there's a bit snow”
I enjoyed the footpath through the woods. It's a beautiful pocket of mixed forest dominated by white pine, and with significant populations of beech, maple, white birch, hemlock, white cedar, balsam fir, red oak, white oak, white spruce, black cherry.
This has been one of the most scenic parks I’ve been to. It’s just a skip down the road from Canada. I felt like it’s one of the closest views you could compare to heaven.
Easy hike along the river. Probably better in spring, summer and fall when more birds populate the area.
