Confirmed from Hauberg Woods' 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 Hauberg Woods
A lovely walking trail tucked away at the corner of Northfield. Be sure to visit in every season!
Small park in Northfield Minnesota. It’s very nice to walk in the fall and the spring. In the summer be prepared for lots of insects. In the winter it would be great for cross country skiing even though it’s not a very long trail.
It is small wooded park with a trail running though it. It is along side a RR track, which has 2 trains a day. The trains run very slowly, since the tracks are not good enough.
Paved path near street leads to a dirt path through very tall trees. Beautiful walk at sunset, but of course plan for mosquitos.
