We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Oshkosh Riverwalk Trailhead on Michigan St. yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Very clean nice place Has bathrooms and a beautiful fishing pier”

This trailhead is currently a secret gem on the Oshkosh Riverwalk Trail! It’s located at the northern most end of, Michigan street at a little park called, Boat Works Park. The photo of the trailhead parking lot is dated.

Awesome walking area gives you that surrounded by nature feel plenty of wildlife to enjoy a real hidden gem in Oshkosh Shhh

★★★★★ — Matt , Jul 2025

Can be a nice walking area ~ however, be aware of dogs that are unleashed, and owners who refuse to take responsibility for their pets. Trail could benefit from security cameras, too.

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.

“There’s also a long pier for fishing that overlooks a tiny fishing shanty village.”
