Confirmed from Wixom Habitat 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.

“Enjoy a short walk down this trail ending with a beautiful and serene view of nature!”

Nice short little trail. I wish it was longer and there were more ways to explore the wixom habitat and the surrounding area. Wooden bridges lead you over marsh like waters and bring you to a scenic outlook over the lake.

★★★★★ — Cake , Apr 2023

Quiet place at 230PM... saw a deer across the pond, a maintained trail with a boardwalk... be with nature close to home! Maybe some mosquito repellent... but I didn't need any during the middle of the day.

★★★★★ — Randolph , Jun 2019

Perfect way to try babee's new stroller/trike. Trail was well maintained & chock full of wild life. Beautiful lake at the end of main walkway! 🐿 🐦 🌼 🌞

★★★★★ — Dawn , May 2020

A lot of mosquitoes out, use your bug spray before starting your hike. Pretty scenery. Short and easy walk

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
