Description

The Milford trail is perfect for new trail runners or seasoned runners who want to push their limits and practice their technical skills. Over the past few years the trail has seen construction which is now completed (Dec 2020). The new pipeline section (middle section of the trail) features a technical section with smooth downhills and banked turns. Over the next few years as the area regrows it will fill in with tall grasses and wildflowers. The trail is a staple for the area!
