Confirmed from Animas River Walk at River Road'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.
Serene destination featuring rivers and trails for hiking, strolling, running and biking amid natural scenery and wildlife.

This is such an interesting place to walk with all the criss-crossing of the trails. So many different ways to get from here to there that you don’t get bored walking. It’s great having the river nearby and everything is really well maintained.
Clementine and I enjoy walking here twice every day! We're lucky to have such a beautiful and serene place to walk.
Absolutely gorgeous. We held our Viking Wedding here and the back drop was completely magical. I love this walk!
