Confirmed from Northwest Wehrspann Trail Entrance'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 Northwest Wehrspann Trail Entrance

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (7 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a great place for a nature walk. It is right next to Wehrspann Lake. Beautiful area.

★★★★☆ — Cjsings , Dec 2019

This is one of my favorite entrances to Wehrspann. You'll follow this sloping sidewalk down where it connects to a park that provides great rustic pictures in the Fall. This entrance also gives way to an off the beaten path trail through the woods, giving you direct access to nature.

★★★★★ — Phil , Aug 2021

Great trails for walking, biking, skating. Good fishing. Nice views. Dog friendly :)
