Confirmed from Independence 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.

What runners say about Independence Greenway Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

(December 2023) A hearty walk in city #193 (Peabody) towards hiking all of the Commonwealth. Parked at Lt. Ross Park, and walked to the Russell Street lot and back. Saw many ducks, geese and even a few swans.

★★★★☆ — David , Dec 2025
