Confirmed from Karst Farm Greenway Trailhead'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.

“Great place for a quiet family walk”

This is our favorite trail. The new portion going to Ellettsville is very nice

★★★★★ — Renae , Apr 2023

Nice little spot with plenty of shade on the trail. Pack a lunch and make a day off it!! Don’t forget to bring a good amount of water!

★★★★★ — Richie , Jun 2022

Didn't get to walk it yet but it's beautiful landscaping. Smaller rolling foothills empty out over ancient bedrock bluffs. Most of the private property surrounding this park is pasture and grazing but looks like what I just described. Can't wait for return ttip

★★★★☆ — Joshua , Dec 2020

Nice walking trail - this was my first time. Hoping to go farther the next time Today i made it from the parking spot on N Loesch near Woodyard to Vernal and back.

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.
