Confirmed from Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor Trailhead'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 Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor Trailhead
Beautiful trail the winds along the creek, the area is a nature escape right in the heart of Middleton! The creek cuts through the area and creates some surprising hills and ridges along the way! Stop and put your feet in the water on a hot day, the water and sand are really nice!
A beautiful trail in the heart of the Madison Metropolitan Area. The paths are paved and accessible with integration with the stream that it follows. You'll forget you're in the city while enjoying such a nature-filled trail. The trail ends at the Pheasant Branch Conservatory.
