Confirmed from Baird Creek Dirt Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular local area for hiking, biking and relaxing nature walks.
What runners say about Baird Creek Dirt Trail
“Easy to use a stroller with great views of the creek and fall colors.”
A wide, paved trail that feels as if it's miles from the city. There are some HUGE trees and, of course, Baird Creek is burbling nearby. Running along either side of of the paved trail are dirt paths for those who are more adventurous, including off-road bicyclists.
Favorite place in Metro Green Bay Area for Trail runs and mountain biking. Recent additions to the trails are several posted maps with milage, colored and numbered trail markings and new foot bridges. Thanks to all those who help maintain this Green Bay Treasure!
Baird creek has a number of excellent trails. Good for road biking, mountain biking, cross country skiing, running, and many other sports. These trails are great! I would highly recommend. However, there aren't any restrooms or water fountains so be prepared!
It was a great trail, at first I went the wrong way and I ended up next to the road lol. Once actually on the trail, it was very relaxing with the small river next to it just a lot of people biking at the time so I constantly heard people behind saying "behind you".
