Confirmed from Cardinal Greenway Medford 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.
What runners say about Cardinal Greenway Medford Trailhead
“This part of the trail has light traffic, is quiet and is nicely shaded.”
Nice biking and walking trail. Heavily shaded in this portion. Very lightly traveled.
I started at the Medford trailhead just south of Muncie and walked south. This part of the trail has light traffic, is quiet and is nicely shaded. It has a very gentle rise, so you get the benefits of uphill walking without feeling like your knees are grinding to dust.
Great place to get on the Greenway. There is a trail detour though, that is well marked and not too far out of way.
All my car windows were intact after parking here overnight while riding the trail to an airbnb in Richmond
