Confirmed from Cottonwood Grove'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.

Great location to capture the changing of the fall leaves 🍂Beautiful scenery, nice trail path, and lovely golden hour lighting for photos. We did a family photo together after almost a decade! we had a pretty good time! Attached below is the results! Peace and love sincerely, The Alexander family! 🍂✨🌅📸
Me and my pregnant wife love taking easy walks here, the 2 loops are half shade, half sunny. I longboard up and down the parkway from this point northward because the pavement is nice and smooth.
Going south, on this part of the trail. You go under I215, and over a few bridges. I liked it very much. No covered tables. Nice asphalt trail.
Nice walking/jogging trail. Not a lot of shade though so bring water on hot days.
