We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Castner's Crossing 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.
Park offering fishing and kid-friendly hiking trails.

This is one of the most beautiful places to take a trail walk. I will literally let my dogs run around off their leashes and enjoy the beautiful scenery. You can definitely do some fishing out here or just enjoy the simplicity of nature.
It's a very peaceful spot. Great for going on walks or biking. Good place for canoeing and fishing too.
