Natural Lands' Bryn Coed Preserve

Jun 2023

A really nice preserve if you are looking for a longer hike! Plenty of parking. We completed most of the yellow loop and the red trail to “Opalanie Park, West Vincent Township” and we walked just under 6 miles. There is another mile loop at the Opalanie Park, thought we did not do that. The last stretch of the red trail getting to the park changes in elevation a few times and I had to stop briefly to catch my breath. A small section of the yellow loop is closed so you have to take the grey trail to avoid the closed off section. I’m giving the Bryn Coed Preserve 4 stars (though it’s more like a 4.5) because it was not as visually appealing as nearby Natural Lands'...read full review

I had a great time exploring this area today. I even brought my pup along and he had a blast. Trails range from beginner to slightly more advanced depending on which color trail you choose to follow. I mostly stayed on the red and purple trails. The red trail is definitely the most difficult with its dense forest and inclines. I didn't get the chance to explore all the area but we did hike 7 miles! Can't wait to come back

Beautiful day to take a walk! Spring is trying to show its neon green face. We chose Natural Land’s Bryn Coed preserve. We’ve always had good luck with Natural Lands. Always well marked, and their App is a blessing. On the App you can pick the preserve and it gives a short synopsis of the preserve, also with mileage and a tracker which is helpful. They’ve made it fool proof! Back to Bryn Coed..rolling hills and forests, cleared pathways and excellent signage are to be found. Look closely and the signs of Spring are present. We did the Yellow Trail which was a little over 3 miles. Can’t wait to see this place when it’s full on Spring!
