Confirmed from Colonial Park'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.
Park featuring picnic tables and trails, plus a public restroom.

Has a paved bike trail that doubles as a nature walk. Has a park. Beautiful views of nature and some of the river.
Fairly clean park with picnic tables, restroom and bike trail. But beware every 5 minutes it seems like an airplane Flys above you.
Best trail walking. Watching the sunrise. Amazing wildlife. And to stand in the bridge and listen to the water flow is just so relaxing. With all three yes you can barely hear any traffic, which just adds to the beauty
I've been a few times and it's actually really nice and updated! I even took my dog and walked the trail a little.
