We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Cahaba River Walk 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.

Its a beautiful place to hike. Me and my husband go often. In a month we have found black bear scat the past 2 times we have went . 1st time is was way down the trails but today its closer to the picnic table. It is December and eirly January.
