Confirmed from Bolz Conservancy Park'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.

What runners say about Bolz Conservancy Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (8 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice neighborhood park with plenty of elevation changes. I didn't explore much this visit, but the area looks like it would be great for butterflies. Will definitely be coming back to check out the trails.

★★★★★ — Felipe , Aug 2018

One of Waunakee's best places to catch a sunrise or sunset. This hilltop park provides its patrons with a spectacular view of Lake Mendota. There are hiking trails, but no restroom facilities.

★★★★☆ — Matt , Dec 2017
