Confirmed from Lowry Woods Community Forest'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.

What runners say about Lowry Woods Community Forest

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Lowry woods is the latest trail system opened in the Madison Land trust Network. There is a spacious parking lot located on warpas road. The New edition connects the double loop trails to the indigo woods. It is now possible to do a loop including lost pond and camp Hadley.

★★★★★ — Blue , Oct 2022

Lowry is one of the flattest trails in Madison. Its features a really nice loop through a scenic forest. This trail complex also connects to the Indigo Woods and Double Loop trails.

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.
