Confirmed from UWGB Arboretum Trail'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.
Arboretum and nature preserve with wood-chipped trails for hiking and running on a 5-mile loop.
What runners say about UWGB Arboretum Trail
“Trails are well maintained and have a lot of variety depending on where you go on the grounds.”
“Be careful during muddy seasons but it is always beautiful!”
“The trails are well marked by colored markers and there are maps throughout the many trails.”
Wow! I chose to visit the area after reading the raving review left here on Google a few days ago written by a "Jarod Johnson". I was able to find the mouse running in circles described in the aforementioned review after an enjoyable several hours of searching.
One of my favorite trails in the Green Bay area! The arboretum encircles the university and the long trail (there are a couple of options) offers a wide range of views.
4.75 miles of great trail walking, hiking, or running. Surfaces range from wood chips to asphalt to dirt to pea-gravel. Enjoy running along Green Bay (the body of water). Explore the mini chapel near Bay Settlement Road. Take in the UWGB 9-hole golf course. This trail offers a little bit of everything.
Okay. I’ve been biking/running on these trails ever since I was a 5 year old, and they absolutely SMACK. The inner loop is maintained incredibly well, and the outer loop has some killer hills. However. The trails are kind of falling apart. Multiple bridges have fallen, and the trail near the bay is slowly eroding away.
