Confirmed from Joy and Alpine Trailhead: Joe Louis Greenway'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 Joy and Alpine Trailhead: Joe Louis Greenway
One of my favorite places to go and walk. It's pretty much just a walking trail it does have a little place where you can sit down and it had a statue with some information about it. But I was mainly interested in walking, it was very nice for that and peaceful.
Nice parking lot, the trail is open for about a mile in both directions.

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
