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

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (80 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Rating is for the gun range. Simple outdoor facility. Well run. Weekends can be crowded. The price is right.

★★★★☆ — Mike , Oct 2024

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.

★★★★★ — David , Sep 2022

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!

★★★★★ — Andy , Mar 2026

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.
