Confirmed from Clower Thornton Nature Trail'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 Clower Thornton Nature Trail
I’m not sure why some of the reviews were bad. When I was just there, all the bridges were fixed. There was a restroom & playground at the NW corner… it’s part of a “community building”! The only negative was in a low area in the creek, that some debris needs to be picked up by the city or a group of volunteers.
I love the nature trail I walk on it regularly beauty of nature is peaceful for me
This is a beautiful nature trail where anyone can go on a bike ride or jog through the woods for some alone time, or just to see the nature and experience outdoors in a different way.

“There was a restroom & playground at the NW corner… it’s part of a “community building”!”
“It is accessible to non motorized bicyclists, but is short & they should go slow for the pedestrians & strollers.”
