Confirmed from Ken Weber Conservation Area At Cascade Brook'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.

🪧 well-marked 4 mentions

“The trail is well-marked with blue stripes on the tree, but even if you wander off trail a bit, you can get back on the path with no problem.”

My daughter and I had a lovely time exploring these woods. The waterfall was serene and fun to get to! She got excited every time she saw a new blue mark and knew we were going the right way. We veered off the trail for a little bit to find a geocache and that was exciting!

★★★★★ — Saturn , May 2023

Very nice short 1.1mile trail to a small stream at the beginning. The trail is well-marked with blue stripes on the tree, but even if you wander off trail a bit, you can get back on the path with no problem. Definitely recommend to check it out with kids and pets!

★★★★★ — Qiwen , Nov 2021

Nice easy little loop trail in Greenville, RI. There are a lot of great things to notice along the trail. An interesting variety of terrain... rocky parts get slippery when it rains or is damp! So, be careful! The highlight of the trail is Rhode Island’s largest waterfall!

★★★★☆ — Phil , Aug 2018

Trail was very well marked. I came here during the summer so the waterfall was at a trickle but the stroll through the woods was very pleasant.

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.

“After what seems like a short walk with some steep ledges (walkable) on the blue trail we came to a waterfall and just stayed.”
