Confirmed from Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway - West Springfield'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.

This was a nice little stretch 3 miles round trip. Bugs were bad in certain spots. Also couldn't see much of the river this time of year. However I'm sure it's really beautiful vome fall time
