We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Endor Furnace Trail Greenway yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Beautiful and quiet for the most part, except for the areas around businesses.”

An entrance to the trail I never knew existed! It's beautiful and quiet but right off horner Blvd.The hill down to the trail is steep though. The gazebo at the bottom looks like a peaceful spot.

★★★★★ — Kathleen , Dec 2022

Love walking these trails, even have some exercise equipment in one area. Get back to nature.

★★★★★ — Doug , Sep 2022

You are in nature and you can feel it, but also US1 is right next door in parts so there's traffic noise. A wonderful short almost 4 miles one way trail. Great neighborhood trail.

★★★★☆ — Paul , Apr 2025

Great walking trail. Great for anyone using a mobility scooter or other device. Beautiful and quiet for the most part, except for the areas around businesses. This will be a regular walking trail for us.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
