Confirmed from Woodland 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.
Hiking area with trails for walking, running, and biking, plus a restroom.
What runners say about Woodland Trail
“Nice trail to stretch your legs and it's also super beautiful.”
“Many people brought their dogs and walked together!”
This is a beautiful hike. There are various paths to take, to determine what distance you want to walk. We did the outer loop and it was just over a mile. The terrain is easy. There is very limited access to fresh water, so if you bring your pup, bring them some water.
Love this place! Its so big, nice and relaxing, you barely run into anybody. Great place to walk your pets, run, walk or take a bike ride. Keep an eye out for ticks though.
This trail is so amazing the natural landscape is amazing I just stopped here to eat my lunch while waiting for a friends plane to land. I had time to kill so I decided to go for a hike. And I’m so glad I did. If u haven’t experienced this amazing hike u need to
Trails marked well. Easy and pretty hike or bike. Bring the doggies ( on a leash). They don't allow pitbull/ mix fyi which is too bad. Blame the owners not the breed.

“The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because parking is very limited.”

- At the trailheadparking, restrooms — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
