Confirmed from Woodland Park Helmer Road Entrance'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 Woodland Park Helmer Road Entrance
It was a wonderful peaceful place to hike little muddy down by the lake the well marks trails very peaceful and they even have benches to take a break very natural wooded setting
Great perfect place to take your family on nature walks spending time with one another
Beautiful woodland setting with easy going trails to walk. Wildflowers and birds are abundant as are springtime ticks.
Good walk. Would like to see possibly more for the walkways and even a brook or stream running through the main areas
