Confirmed from Joe Louis Greenway: Warren Gateway'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 Joe Louis Greenway: Warren Gateway
“The Joe Louis Greenway is an absolute gem for the City of Detroit — the Greenway creates so many beautiful spaces for neighbors to gather, families play, and people to thrive!”
A wonderful extension to connecting all of metro Detroit ! Bike the greenway !
What an amazing addition to the greenway and another expansive green space for the city. Detroit is winning right now! My kids love the slide here and we’re itching to get out there in the spring for a huge family picnic. I’ll be riding my bike to use the outdoor gym equipment as soon as the weather gets warm.
