Confirmed from Carrick's Landing Park'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 Carrick's Landing Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Good view of the Mississippi River. Smooth pavement around the park for jogging. Benches to sit down at. Ran into some very nice, friendly local people with and without dogs.

★★★★★ — Shanshan , Aug 2024

2025 update- The bituminous trail continues to be neglected but they have made some park improvements with the attractive pavilion and boardwalk park entrance. The new overlook of the Mississippi River is a nice addition. Hence my rating went from three stars in 2024 to four stars 2025.

★★★★☆ — Michael , May 2025

One of my favorite local walking places. I like how they room for me to put a blanket down and just read or write.

★★★★★ — Brittany , May 2025

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
