Confirmed from Cub Run Stream Valley 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.
Easy riverfront spot with hiking, biking and dog-walking trails, plus historic markers.

The Google pin 📌 does not take you to a location with parking. If you are driving to this park, put in the intersection of Lambeth Lane and Paddington Lane in Centreville, VA and you'll come to a residential where street parking is allowed.
Nice easy walk. Lots of aquatic and ephemeral plants. Bluebells were gorgeous!
You can park for free on Lee Highway service road and take the side walk to enter the trail. At the first fork, take right if you want to walk in shade. My dog loved the streams and had a blast
This was my first time on the trail. It had parts that were flat and some that were steep hills. I was on my bike so it was a challenge for me. It's nice to have nature so close by.
