Confirmed from Wells 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.
What runners say about Wells Park
“Beautiful place when you want peace and tranquility and a beautiful view, highly recommend,very good for taking walks for fitness reasons”
Provides a beautiful, unobstructed view of the Fox River, with St. Norbert College appearing on the other side of the river. The park is also right next to the Fox River Trail.
Very scenic park overlooking the historic De Pere bridge. You can jog, skate or bike by the river side, Very pretty throughout the year. I recommend visiting here just before fall especially to watch the sun set over the water, which is magical.
I'd call this a pocket park. It's small and offers little more than a couple benches, BUT there's parking and it's a great place to hop on the Fox River Trail. It's also a lovely spot to watch the river and a one-minute walk from the dam where you can see pelicans fishing. It's directly across from St.
