Confirmed from Glacial Drumlin Trail Head'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 Glacial Drumlin Trail Head
Best place to start a bike ride on this trail. Park your car at the lot or ride in on the Waukesha City trail. From this direction the trail has a slight incline, but that's perfect for when you're tired and returning back. I absolutely love this trail.
Really good trail to ride smooth and long enough to have a good bike ride and good changes of scenery. Definitely one of the best paved trails I've been too for sure
Love riding the #glacialdrumlintrail. The trail is fairly smooth and well maintained. Much of the trail is shaded for a nice ride most any time of the day! The scenery is very nice too. You won't get bored even if you ride it often.
This trail is dope! Can't beat it for any distance - running or biking. Watch out for those chipmunks though, they'll jump right out in front of ya!
