We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ice Age Trail - Harrison Hills Segment yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Ice Age Trail - Harrison Hills Segment

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (37 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great place to ride, smooth trails, rough trails, high hills and low valleys. Very picturesque. Not too busy, even on the 4th of July. Several places to park and unload.

★★★★★ — Peter , Jul 2021

Great Trail section. Can be hard to distinguish between ATV trails at times... good to have a map.

★★★★★ — Joseph , Sep 2019

A very lovely hike, with friends, provided. There are a few thorned vines but as long as you're not running through them while in running shorts you'll be fine.

★★★★★ — Lisbet , Jul 2025

The trail was well kept and a bit wild. However, lots of downed trees and boggy areas. Be sure to bring a good pair of hiking boots.

★★★★☆ — Nettie , Apr 2021

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
