Confirmed from Cato Springs Trail Corridor'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 Cato Springs Trail Corridor

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (15 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Long, paved bike and walking paths right in the city. Although I prefer walking on dirt, it was a great spot to get a little walk while in town.

★★★★☆ — Betty'S , May 2023

Fayetteville's trail system is amazing. It's huge and full of nature. I live within walking distance of a part of it, and we take our dogs for walks there. They love it, too.

★★★★★ — D , Feb 2023
