Confirmed from Harold B. McEachern Greenway Trailhead'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.
Paved and shaded trail for walking, jogging, biking and skating, featuring a playground and benches.

“Always clean and well maintained, park maintenance staff is always friendly”
“It is almost completely shaded.”
“Beautiful and Peaceful place to walk!”
Great for short distance runs. Bridges tend to be slippery after it rains but excellent trail for running or walking. Down to the highway and back is almost 3.5 miles but if you cross over the highway and move uphill, the trail reconnects on the right side of the road where you'll be moving through the historic…
It was an easy trail, but nature is wonderful around. Flowers, trees are there. This trail connects to a park. There's a small creek and a few bridges. You can also have a few benches to take a rest. I like that squirrels we jumping and running everywhere. There are few simulator foe people who have arthritis.
Nice, solo or family oriented. Greenway and trails 👣 walking friendly. Safe & Secure.
I love the walking trail at this park. It is almost completely shaded. It's almost like a hidden secret in Concord. Not one of those crowded trails. So it was a perfect way to get exercise during COVID-19.
