Confirmed from Fon Du Lac Farm 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 Fon Du Lac Farm Park
We had a great first time at this park! It was a hot day on our visit but there are several shaded spots. Beware of the turkey! It “bit” my toddler through the fence, but he was totally fine. I’m sure it was just used to people feeding it through the fence and was hoping my son had a tasty snack to give, ha!
Cute little farm with many playground options-2 outside and 2 inside! Lots of opportunities to feed animals and a slide at the top of one building. The whole thing loops around in a small circle, so my kids were able to walk the whole thing without dying, lol.
Witches Walk! Lots of parking. It looked like it was going to be packed and slow. But they had it spaced out great. In and out with no problems. Great decorations and lots of fun for the kids.
