We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of James S. Miner River Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 James S. Miner River Trail
“Very scenic, multiple bridges, Airport, Riverside, & underpasses.”
Excellent trail for budding cyclists learning the rules of the road & bike safety. Great trail for families (not too steep or strenuous). Very scenic, multiple bridges, Airport, Riverside, & underpasses. Many wildlife encounters (if you're quiet.)
This trail is SO BEAUTIFUL & PEACEFUL! Walking on it, puts me in my own zone, and is sort of like meditation for me!
beautiful views of the river and surrounding area. takes you along the backside of the airport. easy entrance from either McCurdy/Mitchell or Kiwanis Park, a few benches on the McCurdy Park side of the trail. close to 2.5 miles one way.
Every town or city should have a walking trail like this. It also serves as a shortcut for those of us who walk or bicycle around town.
