Four Seasons Trail is a short, low-lying out-and-back route in Gordon Bubolz Nature Preserve, a private preserve in Wisconsin. The trail is 0.64 miles long, and it sits almost level, rising just 8 feet from its low point of 807 feet to a high of 815 feet. The steepest stretch, at about 3%, comes at 0.19 miles into the route, and the total gain and loss for the round trip are each about 25 feet. The trail is suited to all seasons, and the most comfortable months fall in spring and fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Appleton show May highs around 67°F and September highs around 72°F, while winter brings snow on seven or eight days a month from December through February. Prairie Hill Community Trail lies about 1.8 miles away, and Fox Trot Historic Trail is about 4.6 miles off. Darboy Park Trail and Loop the Little Lake Trail are both within about 8.5 miles.
