Confirmed from Woodsdale MetroPark'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Nice scenic walk through the woods near the river.”

We have been coming here for years to run the dog. She loves it, it's quiet and creepy sometimes but drenched in history. Summer months are horrendous with mosquitoes. Any other season will do.

★★★★★ — Lorretta , Apr 2022

Wonderful walking trail, plenty of open space. My family loves walking here.

★★★★★ — Andrew , Apr 2020

Very nice park love the nature trail hate the mosquitoes they're very bad

★★★★★ — Shena , May 2023

Beautiful. Great park. Two really nice easy trails. A few spots to get down to the river. Can get swampy in the rainy season. And the mosquitoes are relentless during summer. But fall and winter are fantastic. My furry daughter loves walking and sniffing there.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
