Confirmed from Hopkinsville Greenway System - North Dr 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.
Scenic walking paths and benches scattered throughout this urban park.

My family absolutely loves this walking path. Whether were walking or riding a bike we always feel safe, especially since we have seen police officers patrolling the walkway on bikes. We highly recommend this place.
Really nice, paved trail system in a cute little small town. I'm a long distance runner who travels for work extensively, and it's hard to find good routes in small towns. Thanks to the city and sponsors for creating a well maintained rail trail for walking, running, or cycling, with a handful of parks along the way.
