Confirmed from June Hill Pape Riverwalk Trail'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 June Hill Pape Riverwalk Trail
Love walking on this trail. It’s great to walk after you have dinner at neighbors pizza. Which it is right next to. They also put on a beautiful Christmas walk about
What a fabulous city park. One of the better city parks I’ve ever seen. It has a nice shady walking trail and plenty of places to stop and sit to watch the river flow by. Very well kept. Excellent place for an evening stroll after dinner at one of the downtown eateries.
Very nice paved 0.5 mile (one way) trail along the river complete with bamboo, ducks and unbothered felines. There are several long stairway (read stair stepper!) entrances that make for good exercise too. Unfortunately there is quite a lot of traffic noise from the bridge that goes over head.
Nice place to get out and walk. At Christmas time they put up lots of lights.
