Confirmed from GoFAR USA 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.
Park with 10ft ziplines, 24ft rock walls and an obstacle course, plus a petting zoo.
What runners say about GoFAR USA Park
“It's well kept, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, bathrooms are very clean.”
“Affordable admission, lots of shade, not too crowed, I highly recommend it for all ages.”
We live in Madison and were looking for somewhere with outdoor fun. I took my two boys 13/8 here and overall we had a great time. They have a military discount so $12 each and that includes access to all the obstacles, trails, climbing wall, petting zoo, and zip lines.
We enjoyed the Christmas hayride, the ride was smooth and the displays were pretty to see. The tractor had lights had lights shining up to the trees and music playing. GoFARis family run and greets everyone very friendly. Top notch family entertainment.
Absolutely a great time. Haunted hay ride is great. Then, a short trail to a petting zoo. Lots of walking and bike trails.
I just took my grandsons to GoFAR Park to see the Holiday lights. We also enjoyed zip lining and rock wall climbing. Well constructed activities and play equipment in a rustic setting, picnic tables to have a meal or snack at, and several campfires to stay warm!
