Confirmed from Frederick's Hill'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.

Best location to hike with anyone, especially visitors to the Madison area. Great view of the Pheasant Branch conservancy, bird flocks and Madison’s skyline. Shoes with great traction a must as it can get muddy on the way up during winter and spring.
