Confirmed from Green River 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.
Park with a paved trail suitable for walking, biking, and running, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Green River Trail
“The trail is well maintained, but someone needs to collect the garbage.”
“Bathrooms are few and far between, but it is still a pretty flat, nice run with a great view most of the way!”
“A short hiking trail but it’s nice absolutely love running down hill here not crowded couple times I’ve been”

For me, the best walks are ones that I share with someone I like. So, when B suggested that we walk off the pile of Guatemalan food we had just eaten, I knew it was going to be good. I fired up Google Maps and found a few options nearby. Since B was getting over a virus, we looked for a walk without hills.
Nice Trail! Very friendly to kids. All paved and clean. We enjoyed it very much.
I liked this trail its a nice paved walk along the green river which is awesome if you like the river! If you like to nature watch the Eagles nest off the trail. It reminds me of back home. I enjoy coming here
I love this place! It's my favorite place to run! Paved trail, but sometimes runs along the road without a sidewalk. Bathrooms are few and far between, but it is still a pretty flat, nice run with a great view most of the way! Mt. Rainier can be seen from here on a clear day too!
