Confirmed from Tiedeman Pond Conservancy'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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (29 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Quiet, beautiful, plenty of nature, we loved our 40 minute relaxed hike.”

Beautiful spot with a nice boardwalk around the lake. Lots of bird life for birders.

★★★★★ — Faith , Mar 2023

A gem tucked close to downtown Middleton. Path around the pond is 1 mile long, mostly boardwalk and gravel with a paved section. We almost always see some wildlife up close. Ice rinks in the winter, depending on ice conditions.

★★★★★ — Chris , Jan 2023

This pond is surrond with a trail and plank road. There are a lot of lotus flower in summer. It will be super super beautiful when all flowers open!

★★★★★ — Jianjun , Aug 2020

Tiedeman Pond has a wonderful path to walk around the lake. It is beautiful with the snow. Fun to watch people having a fun time on the ice.

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.
