Confirmed from Cardinal Greenway Shaffer 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 Shaffer Trailhead
We walk on the Cardinal Greenway often. This trailhead doesn’t have a portable toilet, picnic tables or playground fyi. The parking lot is very small. The trail adjacent to this trailhead is well maintained and has lots of shade.
Beautiful trailhead. If you walk towards the country instead of town, it is very scenic
Nice place to get in the trail just at the edge of town only room for a few vechicles
