Confirmed from Baraboo's Riverwalk'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.
Shaded area for strolling and bike riding with views of the river.

Great walking path. Lots of shade. Wide path for walkers, bikers, bladers.
Beautiful paved, walking trails with great scenic view of the Baraboo river. This area is suitable for walkers, bikers, strollers, and wheelchairs. This is pet friendly for those on leash with appropriately placed receptacles for animal waste.
Beautiful little walk. There is also a Dr Evermor sculpture there. If you haven't visited the free sculpture park, it's a must stop! Path follows the river for a bit, shaded and paved.
Beautiful path along the river. Very scenic. Lovely paved path makes for an easy hike.
