John Clyde Native Grassland Preserve

Great for Families—But Not for a Challenge

This trail is perfect for families, biking, and dog walking. The landscaping is beautiful, and kids will love spotting butterflies along the open paths.

But personally, I was a bit disappointed—I was hoping for a moderate hike, and this one felt more like a leisurely stroll. There’s very little elevation, and it doesn’t compare to the challenge of Sourland Mountain Trail.

If you're looking for a scenic, easy outing, this trail delivers. But if you're chasing elevation and endurance, you might want to look elsewhere.

Beautiful and peaceful meadows walk, there are lot of birds, morning and evening are best time here, morning birds welcomes you there music. So peaceful place. It’s better to avoid when it was rained trail were watery and muddy. There are only few parking spots

Peaceful meadow walk that is beautiful any season. One trail goes through woods by a babbling creek. A lot of birds during warmer months. The path is wide and well mowed. Many wildflowers and beautiful grasses glowing in the sun.
Bring waterproof shoes, it gets muddy in some places after rain or snow.

Meadow and woods. Great 6.5 mile hike. Look forward to trail markers for brown, purple and yellow trail.

Also known as Griggistown Native Grassland Preserve. Has 6 different trails that is marked. Mostly flat. Part of the 10 Mile Run Greenway. Connects from Bunker Hill Natural Reserve on the Red Trail passing between a neighborhood to the Brown Trail. Multiple trails marked along the way. There is also parking available on a side road on Bunker Hill Road across Forest Ave that connects to the Blue Trail. Great for a leisurely hike, trail running, and wanting a peaceful, quiet activity in nature. A hidden gem.
