Confirmed from Ridge Run Park East'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.
Park with a playground, picnic area & sports fields, plus trails, fishing & a lighted sledding hill.

“There is a playground, workout equipment, picnic areas, beautiful wooded hiking trails, and some good fishing spots.”
Can't say much more than the 5 stars shows. Beautiful trail, not difficult to hike and gorgeous views of the little river especially during the fall season. Looks like we were about a week late, but still gorgeous.
Beautiful county park. Nice hiking trails. No fee. Plenty of parking.Note: trail does not circle back.Flush bathrooms. A must go to park in West Bend WI.
This is a very nice park. There is a playground, workout equipment, picnic areas, beautiful wooded hiking trails, and some good fishing spots. In the winter there is a great sledding hill.
Nice park. Has things for the kids. You can picnic or fish or walk the trail. The only bad thing is the way the main trail is set up. It's very long and challenging. But it goes from the park to paradise drive. Which is a long way!! There's no distance markers on the trail. So if you do the whole thing.
