Confirmed from Black Creek Greenway Trailhead'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.

First visit, wintery noon, with family, The trail is extremely well maintained by users. If you care for a long walk between the trees or cycling without the horror of crazy traffic, do take this trail. Has loop trails in the original long trail so lots of options.
Great, Easy trail to take. Perfect all around trail for Walkers, runners, bicyclist, parents with toddlers or young kids. Hasn't been crowded at all when I've been on it.
Shaded most of the way which is nice in Summer. It is road to walk on and not dirt.
