Confirmed from Woodside Natural Area'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 Woodside Natural Area
“Beautiful short walk, surrounded by nature with birds chirping everywhere.”
“Very serene and well maintained trail.”
This was such a beautiful destination to go to in colchester Winooski VT. In all my 28 years I've never been down to these trails or seen the beauty of the Winooski river.
Beautiful short walk, surrounded by nature with birds chirping everywhere. Maybe a quick 20 minute stroll. There is a section with a decent staircase and planks to go over the wet ground. Peaceful & quick
Fabulous spot, great for dog walking, although I don't care for them as too many incompetent pet owners exist
