Confirmed from Expedition Island'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.
Family-friendly outdoor space for picnics, a playground, and Green River access.
What runners say about Expedition Island
“A very nice and clean place to lay out and have lunch.”
“Beautiful views and clean.”
Island Park? I grew up here and it's just Expedition Island...or The Island. ..never heard it called Island Park. Wonderful place though. ..great for a picnic or just take the kids and play. ..there are areas to wade and even a small rapids course for kayaking.
Clean, well-kept. Nicely mowed grass with a paved walking trail. Several historical markers throughout the island to detail the various Green River expeditions that have occurred over time. The path connects to a neat footbridge across the Green River and to the greater paved trail system in the town.
One of my favorite places to visit in Green River. A beautiful outdoor space for walking along the green belt path, riding bikes, playing in the river, families going to the splash park and playgrounds, having picnics and just hanging out, and attending/hosting events.
The walking path with the little historical markers was interesting and kinda fun. The kids loved skipping rocks into the river and finding sticks to play with. Appreciated the "hand sanitizer style" free sunscreen dispensers near the bridge.
