Confirmed from Menasha Conservancy Area'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.
Nature trail system featuring deer, birds and lush vegetation, plus cross-country skiing in winter.

Short set of trails tucked away in a wooded area just north of Lake Winnebago. Nice for a morning bike ride or hike with several small ponds located along the route and plenty of wildlife.
Went to check this place out for the first time. It was very pretty, lush with vegetation and a little swampy. It's a short walk but there were some interesting deer trails to adventure on. Definitely wear good hiking boots cause the trails can get a little wet, and wear bug spray!!
Pond is stagnant so it gets smelly. its a nice walk around area with birds and tucked away
