We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Waupun Park Maple Forest State Natural Area yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Waupun Park Maple Forest State Natural Area
“Beautiful area with some hiking trails.”
Beautiful area with some hiking trails. In the fall, the colors are just gorgeous! Beautiful yellow colors fill the area. Growing up, I always loved visiting this area. To this day, it’s still a treat to visit.
I absolutely love this place. My favorite time to go is in the Fall when the leaves are changing color. There's public restrooms and a park area with a jungle gym. The trials at the West end are to hike through.
Nice quiet wooded park campsites. Electricity only. But has pump out and water fill station.
