Confirmed from Kletzsch 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.
Relaxed park with soccer fields, trails and waterfalls, plus archery practice areas and fishing spots.
What runners say about Kletzsch Park
“This is a cute park that is well maintained like other people mentioned.”
“Beautiful atmosphere great place for kids to come I love the jungle gym, the waterfall and the current of the River is just immaculate.”
Definitely enjoyed a morning here! Good mix of paved and unpaved trails to walk/explore. Connected to Oak Leaf for walking/biking, close enough to the city to be a simple, part of the day, trip. Busy, but not overwhelmingly so, on the weekend. Looking forward to heading back at some point to find out more!
Nice walking trails along the Milwaukee River, nice waterfall and family areas.
Gorgeous waterfalls in a park setting. It's stunning. There are paths that lead around the area and the park.
Great place to walk with your dog. Lots of little wooded trails and open fields. Ample parking options.
