Confirmed from Woodland Reservoir'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 Reservoir
“Also great view Syracuse University JMA Dome.”
This is a gem in syracuse💎 This spot should be updated with a walking path and lights!! From walking to having picnic sit has one of the best views of the city 🌆 you can see the mall all the way to Onondaga nation, best spot for watching the sunrise or the sunset it is definitely one of the most beautiful scenic views…
Tranquil trail with panoramic views of downtown Syracuse, Onondaga Lake, and looking Northeast of the area that your walking. They have a small lot but ample street parking. Sometimes you can see ducks swimming. Also great view Syracuse University JMA Dome.
