Confirmed from Island View 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.

“Nice park that has a great trail for running or taking your dog on a walk.”

Very peaceful - felt safe - deer and birds everywhere with plaques giving info scattered through with info on birds- has workout machines along path PERFECT LUNCH SPOT to get in some steps!

★★★★★ — Jacquelyn , May 2023

This is a great park in the middle of suburbia. It's a mile long with some nice hills. Go either early or later and will see deer. There is a section where you can see the river too. Very nice and also kid friendly!

★★★★★ — Mary , Oct 2017

Awesome trail to do some chakra clearing walks or runs. Filling in the short cuts with some gravel would be epic! My boxer loves trying to sprint the mile here too so he has fun lol. :)

So peaceful and gorgeous path. I enjoyed the excercise equipment for resistance training as well.

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.
