Confirmed from Cayce Riverwalk, Phase 2 Access' 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 11 mentions

“Beautiful riverside trail right in Columbia's back yard.”

Nice view of downtown Columbia in certain spots. It has a public rest room. Almost all of the trail is paved and has some lighting for early evening walks. There is direct access to the river in certain areas of the walkway. Only downfall is when it rains a lot the best part of the walk is cut off due to flooding.

★★★★★ — Brian , Aug 2018

Beautiful riverside trail right in Columbia's back yard. A wonderful place to get away without going too far. I found it especially beautiful at night, the paths are well lit and the nocturnal creatures are aplenty.

★★★★★ — Sean , May 2019

A beautiful river walk with plenty of places to rest. There's beautiful scenery all around and it's a great place to get away and clear your head.

★★★★★ — John , Apr 2019

Very nice scenic path along the river. Lots of picnic tables and benches along the way. Park is well maintained and is super nice.

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.
