Confirmed from Appleway 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 Appleway Trail
“Typically kept up and maintained as best that the employees who clean the area can do, nice to get out and walk and listen to music”
Very useful form of travel if you have a bike or want to walk. Well kept, pretty, and out of the way from the road, so you can’t even hear all the cars on Sprague.

A nice paved pathway to walk, run, or bicycle. They provide bags for dog waste so it is a good place to walk your dog. There is a bench every few hundred feet if you would like to take a rest. The landscaping makes it a pleasant place to walk.
Decent paved path that's maintained with some plant diversity. Part of it is along a busy road, but then it goes more into a residential area with many intersections, but off of the busy road
