Confirmed from Joe & Bernadine Weber's Nature 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.

“Didn't even know was there all these years , stumbled upon when I got lost lol beautiful there pond walking trails covered area for picnic secluded”

Easily the most beautiful park in Marshfield. It's a short trail, about 1 mile long, but it's fun and still a gorgeous trail. And there's so many flowers blooming, it smells wonderful! This is one of my favorite places in Marshfield, something new to see everytime I visit

★★★★★ — Mikaela , Mar 2021

Perfect trails for me. If you have shortness of breath and/or a senior but want to keep your muscles and balance up, this is perfect. No hills and has benches for you to rest if needed. Well marked too. Plus bathrooms a bonus for us old farts!

★★★★★ — Barbara , Jun 2020

Paved walkway used today for half mile for round trip. Over 8 habitats were public. Fall colors not a high level. Different colored leaves covering paved walk giving that child feeling back.

★★★★★ — Audrey , Oct 2023

Very nice nature preserve. Trails are well maintained. I would suggest signs for the trails though for those of us whom are directionally challenged lol.

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.
