Confirmed from Greenway 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.

What runners say about Greenway Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Starting at the corner of the park office parking lot, the trail takes you through creek side, pine forest, and beautiful woodlands. You can take a turn on Old Pond Trail (red sign) to make it an easy 1.5 miles counter clockwise loop back to the park office parking lot.

★★★★★ — Shaw , Apr 2025

The old trail is 1.3 miles and it's a loop. I would highly recommend coming here. Make sure to wear hiking shoes. It's mostly shaded and as long as you follow the signs it would be a lot of fun.

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.
