Confirmed from West Port Madison Nature Preserve'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 West Port Madison Nature Preserve

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (12 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice short walk with views of the water. There are picnic tables, too. Not many know about this park so you might not have any company.

★★★★★ — Julian , Apr 2021

Small park, but worth a visit if you love a short walk in a well established NW forest. Huge trees here are amazing.
