Confirmed from Fonferek's Glen Brown County 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.
Family-friendly outdoor spot featuring a waterfall, hiking trails and a viewing platform for the falls.
What runners say about Fonferek's Glen Brown County Park
“I was here on January 1st and although the trails are not groomed there was so many beautiful sites and because no trails groomed you could pretty much go anywhere, which I did.”
Beautiful place, trails are nice. There is a water crossing that could soak your shoes so be prepared. Also while clearly marked the trails can be tricky, Rocky, and hazardous. The waterfall is easily accessible.
Pretty area. Wouldn't necessarily make this a destination, but it's kind of cool. You're basically hiking in the back 80 of someone's farm. The waterfall is pretty and there is a trail we got bored with then turned around.
This is a very neat place to do a little hiking. There are a lot of trails that are not marked so you can wander around for several hours. The water level was super low so we were able to walk places that normally might be filled with water. There were nice views and lots of rocks to climb on.
Very beautiful scenery, love coming here whenever I come to visit Wisconsin! Sadly there's been graffiti done on the rocks and many of the signs that could be inappropriate for children to come across (swears, vulgar imagery).
