Confirmed from Wizard of Oz Memorial Oak Grove North Syracuse'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 Wizard of Oz Memorial Oak Grove North Syracuse
I lived in this area my whole life and didnt know this park was nearby ..The woods were full of mysterious shape trees .It was a quick hike but I dont think we went through the whole hike ,because it was pretty muddy from all the rain .I understand they give tours ,I'm definitely going to go on one
This is a really cool place to explore and check out some really old trees. The only downsides being the mosquitoes and several downed trees that can make the trails difficult to navigate, especially on a bike.
The entrance was a bit difficult to find and lots of mosquitoes but it's behind North Syracuse Highschool. nice hike otherwise
Really great in the fall, when all that leaves are changing going on to the trail little bit of forest in North Syracuse.
