Confirmed from Lake Menomin 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.
Park with views on Lake Menomin featuring picnic areas and hiking trails, plus mountain biking and dog trails.
What runners say about Lake Menomin Park
“Sooooo beautiful and the trails are perfect for summer or winter walking, hiking, snowshoeing, and bicycling.”
Just spent a hour biking the trails here and was very very surprised! I don't even think I made it through all of them an though some were quite dilapidated all of them were still very rideable! Would definitely suggest the usual helmet and a buddy.
Beautiful setting by Lake Menomin. Walking trails take you through many different habitats. Picnic area. Conveniently close to Menomonie. A lot of wildlife.
Beautiful trails for walking, hiking, and mountain biking. In the winter these trails are great for snowshoeing.
Lovely little park, though the trails are not clearly marked. Also SOOOO many mosquitoes.

- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
