Woodland Trail is a 1.45-mile loop in Pierce Township Park, on city land in Ohio. The trail is rated easy, with a total elevation gain of 57 feet, and it makes a short outing for anyone already in the park. The route rises from about 729 feet to about 873 feet, with the steepest stretch at roughly 0.9 miles in, where the grade reaches about 11 percent. The climb is gentle overall, and the loop shape makes it easy to fit into a longer day on foot. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 68°F, with September and October seeing the fewest wet days of the year. Sun Valley Trail is about 1.9 miles away, and Parcourse Trail and the Louis Moore Memorial Walking Trail are both within about 3.5 miles. Paddlers can find Twelvemile Creek about 9 miles off.
