Confirmed from Wooster Mountain State Park Scenic Reserve'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.
Founded in 1920, this 444-acre park offers trails & hunting, plus a 50-yard outdoor shooting range.
What runners say about Wooster Mountain State Park Scenic Reserve
Rating is for the gun range. Simple outdoor facility. Well run. Weekends can be crowded. The price is right.
Great, open range. Friendly RSO's who will help you with any questions or issues you may have while shooting. It is cash only and there is no shade while shooting so come prepared.
Cute park to walk along with decent trails and great scenery. We were park hopping in the area and dropped by and really enjoyed our time. Would recommend!
