Confirmed from George R. Kennedy Memorial Park'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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (558 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“A great place to walk through the woods with a beautiful view of the river and city.”

Located Edgewater FL. Completely renovated boat ramps, additional small boardwalk and gazebo as well as revamped parking and another shelter with picnic table and picnic tables in the open beside boardwalk. New reef barriers and concrete sidewalks. Has restrooms. Great place to visit and get a walk in if not crowded.

★★★★★ — Margarita , Dec 2021

A great place to walk through the woods with a beautiful view of the river and city. It takes about 45 minutes to make the loop through nature with an estimated 2 plus miles walk.

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.
