Confirmed from Katherine Legge Memorial 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.

“There's a dog park area and a walking path that you have to be aware of but they have limited times so it's not always a free for all.”

Love KLM disc golf course! It's a pretty beginner friendly park with a nice creek feature that plays in on a few holes. There's a dog park area and a walking path that you have to be aware of but they have limited times so it's not always a free for all.

★★★★★ — Jeremy , Feb 2022

Lots of parking, rentable indoor space, disc golf course, nice terrain of ups downs, valleys, pretty trees, sports fields on outskirts of park, playground, picnic tables, and pavilions. Some areas allow dogs. Nice walk on a beautiful evening.. with some 4 year old vs 37 year old sprint races.

★★★★★ — Michelle , Jul 2020

A truly beautiful Park featuring rolling hills, old buildings, and wildlife. My son competed in a cross country meet there, and it was the most attractive meet venue of the season. Near the course, we saw a baby beaver building a little starter-home in the creek that runs through the park

★★★★★ — Dan , Nov 2024

Nicely wooded, with walking path. Frisbee golf course. athletic fields. multiple pavilions. Playground. If you are in the area, stop by. It's quite nice.

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly 22 mentions

“The good: We were on a road trip to Wisconsin and happened to stop here with our dog at exactly 6pm, right when the off leash dog park hours started.”
