Confirmed from Winslow Nature Trail'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 Winslow Nature Trail
Very nice. 6-23-2025 at 8:30am no mosquitoes. Very nice to take the dogs for a little walk... Whole trail is prob 10-15 mins . There are a few different paths you can go around... Very nice... Has porta potty at entrance... No trashcan along the way though...
Nice small trail hike 5 minutes from town. If you want to get a full hike in you'd have to go back and go all the different routes. We probably spent 45 minutes and walked the whole area. Nice for a family hike, or for those who need really easy terrain.
Very concealed but near the heart of town, a couple trails and cool trees. Good shade for a trail run with little elevation changes and hazards.
Great Nature Trail! Not super handicap accessible because of roots on the trail, but a very great outdoor experience!!
