Confirmed from Marshfield School 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.

“The marshfield school forest near lindsey is a family friendly trail system that offers skate and traditional ski, snowshoeing and fat tire opportunities on groomed trails.”

Went for the single track mtb trails. Trailforks and mtbproject are both missing a lot of the trails. Only had time for a few but they were pretty decent. I took a few pictures of some of the trails and I know I missed a bunch more. Worth driving to and checking out for sure.

What an amazing place to cross country ski. Make sure to check trail conditions at SkinnySki.com before going as the groomer puts updates on there!

★★★★★ — Seth , Feb 2022

Great place to enjoy the great outdoors. Nice pond (there are fish) and walking trails. In the winter there are groomed ski trails and trails for snowshoeing.

★★★★★ — Samuel , Jan 2017

Used their mountain biking trails. Well kept trails! Varying difficulty makes it a great place for beginners and experienced bikers alike.

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.
