Trail System
Red Trail
The main trail loop that takes you through the majority of the park. This is a single track wooded trail which consists of exposed rocks and roots, mud, and potentially downed trees/limbs.
Green Trail
This is a series of trails that allow visitors to experience the meadows of Raven Run. These trails consist mainly of mowed grass, are more open than the Red Trail and generally easier to walk on.
Orange Trail
This trail is a 1 mile loop off of the Red Trail and consists of open meadows, some wooded areas, and great views from a high elevation.
Blue Trails
These trails connect the Green Trails to the Red Trail at various intersections. These trails are often shorter and offer the ability to see parts of the Red Trail without having to complete the 4 mile loop.
Yellow Trail
Located off the Red Trail, this trail provides a shortcut from Point D to H. This short, but scenic, trail offers incredible views of spring wildflowers during their peak blooming season of April to May.
White Trails
These short trails connect the Red Trail to points of interest throughout the park.
Freedom Trail
This is a paved, barrier-free trail located beside the parking lot. This trail is roughly .5 mile long and will pass over Chandler Creek.
Discovery Trail
This is a paved, barrier-free trail located in front of the Nature Center. This trail is roughly .25 mile long.
