Confirmed from Greenbelt Corridor 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.
Park with water access, plus trails for hiking and cycling, and an equestrian trail.
What runners say about Greenbelt Corridor Park

Nice and quiet trails. From this entry point, there are two paths, one a little off beaten and a main one that is clear, wide, and smooth. Nice scenery, tree covered-paths, open fields, and an epic overlook to see downtown Denton in the distance.
There are plenty of tasks to walk here. The area is very clean. The view isn't overly spectacular, however, it's very nice to have something like this so close to town. Also surprising was how clean the bathrooms are. There aren't many bathrooms, but in both of the ones I visited, the were incredibly clean.
Went a bit further afield today. Enjoyed being out in the country. It was a good 5 mile walk. Saw a historic bridge from the 1920’s. No shade on the path so glad we were here in January. Wish we could have seen more glimpses of the river.
