Confirmed from Fox River Trail South Trailhead'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 Fox River Trail South Trailhead
“Beautiful scenery definitely recommend!”
It's a cool paved trail through Brookfield. Through the backyards and marshes of Brookfield.
Nice, easy running and walking paved trail. About 3 miles long point-to-point.
Love the new trail - at least it was our first ride on it - shorter side but lots of activities nearby - old Brookfield, Sharon Lynn Wilson Center - Fox River Park
Nice 3 mile trail that link from this trailhead to downtown Brookfield. 2 river crossings that have neat wooden bridges that you get to cross.
