Confirmed from Bear River Greenway'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 Bear River Greenway
“This place has a beautiful sprawling walkway that goes all the way back to and around the State Park with nice spots to stop and rest along the way.”
Great place come and walk and nice trail to use. We keep clean off during the winter months and ice ready there will be ice staking and bear build u can rent out for party and other use contact recreation center. During summer u can use pond for fishing and boat rental. Sport field as well.
Beautiful place to take a walk and join the scenery. Feed the wild birds, go crawfish fishing, regular fishing, swimming, and some exercise equipment.
The ponds allowed us to rent a 🛶 and my 14 year old went out on the ponds and went around the island. He's never even been in one of those before! It was very low cost and really run. Wish they had a rental for river intertubing. :(
Nice park only 5 min off of the interstate. Dog friendly. Covered picnic area, paved paths for walking. We stopped to give our dogs a break. They even took a quick swim in the river.
