Cemetery

Location: The trail begins at the entrance to Oakwood Cemetery on Oakwood Ave (parallel to and one block away from La Salle), between 4th and 5th street.
Beginning at the Entrance to the cemetery:
  • Go through the gate, and go straight
  • Take the first right
  • Keep following the road and try to pick the roads as close to the fence as possible, to get the longest run, it will eventually curve back around to the front gate.

Length: 2.06 miles

Type: Loop

Elevation: This place is flat. There's only a 12ft change in elevation over the 2 miles.

 

Dangers to Avoid: This route has always felt safe for me, and the entire place is fenced in. However, I would recommend that you run in the day time.
Things to look for:
  • Rocks, dirt and trees. The way it should be
  • Maybe some people you knew?
Environment: The trail itself is all asphalt. It's usually a really quiet place. Out of respect, you may have to alter your route if a funeral service is being held.
