Confirmed from Cayce Riverwalk, Phase 3 Access' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews.

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.

Secluded and quiet trail running along the river. Always well-maintained by Cayce. No river access here - not the place to bring your dog if you're looking to get in the water.

Nice shady place to walk by the river. Wide trails. Lights by the path and a restroom was located off the trail.

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.
