Confirmed from Zimmerman Nature Preserve'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 Zimmerman Nature Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice little park that mostly function as a place for the Autumnwood nursing home residents (who are right next door) to stretch their legs on mini walks. The path is only about 200 yards, but has about five benches and five picnic tables (and an old pump that kids may enjoy). Parking for just a few vehicles.

★★★★☆ — Lee , Apr 2021

Just a small little natural spot on the outskirts of Tiffin. Not very big but a nice quiet spot to enjoy a walk on a paved trail.

★★★★☆ — Tim , Sep 2021
