Description

The Bruno's Run Trail offers a 9 mile (14.48 km) loop ideal for hiking in spring, summer and fall and snow shoeing in winter. Although the trail is not groomed in winter for cross-country skiing, it does offer a suitable source for experienced skiers who prefer to break their own way.

The trail winds its way past a host of small lakes etched in this relatively young glacial plain, taking hikers over gently rolling country. Further along, the trail runs over foothills, along overlooks and through valleys. The many lakes and streams in the area as well as a variety of trees and other plants make it likely that those traveling the trail will spot wildlife or tracks. If you are alert, you are sure to have an enjoyable outing. Permits are not required for camping along the trail or for campfires. Be careful with fire.

Trail Safety: Please keep in mind that this is a multi-purpose trail (although horses and motorized vehicles are not allowed). Be prepared to meet bicyclists, skiers and snowshoers, depending on the season.

Bicyclists and skiers should maintain control of their speed at all times and approach turns in anticipation of someone around the bend. Skiers should be aware that the trail is not groomed in the winter, and some areas may be icy or uneven, and you may encounter limbs or trees across the trail.

The signs around the trail say ten miles. I hiked with my dog and it was a great trail. She was able to jump in the streams and lakes to cool off.…
