Confirmed from Grobschmidt 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.
What runners say about Grobschmidt Park
“Seems well maintained, it's a simple little park!”
“Trails can be muddy but it's a beautiful natural place”
“Hidden gem honestly, good experience Quiet, alone in a city park on a hot day”
Grobschmidt Park is a lesser known park among Milwaukee County's green treasures. The park has the feel of a northern Wisconsin forest. You won't find groomed fields and playgrounds. You will find trails and paths through woods and weed-covered fields. It's a refreshing place to explore with urban kids.
Very quiet, very natural, insects and birds 🐦 in abundance. One large path goes completely around the lake with a couple other paths. Only one spot to get up close to the lake. Rough uneven stones make it too uncomfortable for barefoot 👣walking. Overall a nice enjoyable park.
Great morning hike and I even saw a Coyote which is super rare! It's the first time I've ever seen one in the area and I frequent this park. Take the long way if you really want to enjoy it. The gravel track around the lake is nice but the best views are through the whole park.
Cute trails, we've seen lots of wildlife! Gets very muddy and slick after rain, some areas of the trails capture big puddles of water. Seems well maintained, it's a simple little park!
