Confirmed from Decatur Hike-Bike Way Trailhead'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.
Scenic hiking area featuring kid-friendly trails, picnic tables, and a river.

Amazing place to go for a walk, bike ride or a run. Beautiful scenery and they just recently cleaned up the trails and re did the paths. Highly suggest to anyone in Decatur who likes to get out and about and wants some good views while doing so.
This is an awesome trail. Great for biking.Along the river there is some gravel but otherwise it’s paved. Starting at the pavilion parking lot to a park and back is 12.9 miles of fun and peaceful riding.
