Confirmed from CanalWay Center'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.
Interactive exhibits about nature are featured at this center featuring animals and exhibits, plus a bike park for skating.

Always a great walk here. Paved paths and great views of the canal and river as well. Never know what wildlife you will see.
Wow what a cool place to take kids to! Great indoor and outdoor activities especially the bike course with ramps and everything! Would be great for for a regular old solo hike too with nice trails and great scenery. Put this on your list!
My first time being here I didn't even know this place existed it's hidden in a way off a road you never would imagine there being a nature center and an amazing bike park or State Park there's trails so much to offer. I can't wait for the weather to break and experience more!!
A beautiful and peaceful gem amongst the city. Lots of recreational options and amenities like clean bathrooms, picnic pavilions and scattered tables, bike park, nature center and walking & biking trails. I always enjoy my time here.
