Confirmed from Alderman Multi-Use Recreation 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.

What runners say about Alderman Multi-Use Recreation Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice little hidden spot to hop on or off a conviently placed trail. If I am not mistaken it can take you to Arlington Park. It is also my favorite little entrance to the bay. Great for kayaks and canoes
