Confirmed from River Barn Park'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.
Relaxed, clean park known for baseball fields (3 of them ) and softball tournaments.

“Beautiful River nice baseball fields very enjoyable relaxing atmosphere having a concession stand open during the baseball seasons”

Pretty park two hops into Mequon from Brown Deer. Although it's along the fairly busy N Cedarburg Road (aka N Green Bay Rd/Hwy 57), it's surprisingly quiet once you enter the drive to the park. Nice walk and views of the Milwaukee River. Nice place to read a book, play baseball or talk a walk. Dog friendly.
During the week, I love taking my dogs for walks by the river and enjoying the beautiful nature along the way.
Love this park,great place to walk my dog and work out at the same place. Paths take you down by the river.
Quiet. Great place for the kids to run around. The benches are excellent for reading.
