Currently, there are ten crushed gravel trails in the Winnie PalmerNature Reserve, offering everything from a short loop to the historic Lochry Blockhouse, to longer loops close to theperimeter of the reserve. The ten trails on the reserve property total 8837 feet or 1.6 miles. Walkers can increase their mileage to 2.1 by also hiking along both entrance driveways.

Two parking areas provide access to the reserve.

From Route 981, between Monastery Drive and Route 30, look for the Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve sign on the west side of the road, just opposite the Dairy Queen. Turn onto Old Route 981 at the sign. After 500 feet, turn at a second WPNR sign. Follow a gravel driveway, Walzer Way, lined with post and rail fence, for 1872 feet to the Barn, where parking is available. Several pull-off areas allow for drivers to linger along the drive and view the Saint Vincent campus and its Archabbey Basilica.

From Route 30, turn onto Saint Vincent Drive and look for a gravel driveway on the east (right) side of the road. This leads to an eighteen-car park and walk lot. This parking area has a restroom area with a water fountain designed for use by visitors when Barn facilities are not open.
