Confirmed from Woods of Wenonah'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.
Scenic hiking destination with a lake, trails for all skill levels, birdwatching and dogs allowed.

“The Woods of Wenonah is a peaceful and beautifully maintained nature preserve that’s perfect for a relaxing hike or a quiet walk in the woods.”
Absolutely love this trail. So sad to see a section got hit by straight line winds or a tornado, but they are already rebuilding it. This trail is well worth the 40 min drive for me
Beautiful little hiking trail. Has a little lake here that's occasionally available to be swam in too. Great place to stop and kill some time in the morning before heading to the Deptford mall. Came here on a Sunday morning and I was the only one here. So peaceful and I'm so happy I stopped! 🥰
Such a beautiful place they have some really cool trails! Wish they had more boards up to cross over but overall such a beautiful location!
Great hiking spot, with some great views of the lake. The woods back up to some houses but its rarly noticed. If you are adventurous enough to do all of the park trails in one trip you will get a pretty good hike. Its about 8 miles round trip with some pretty good vertical ascent and decent. I really enjoy it here.
