We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Black River Trail extension yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Black River Trail extension
Great trail extension to the original Bkack River trail. If someone only wants to do 3 miles. This is a great short trail. Few low grade hills but easy to traverse.
Nice trail. We enjoy this trail and are happy it was extended. No facilities.
