Confirmed from Kiefer Park'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 views from here, In the summer you have to go to see the movie or concerts in the park.”

Pretty simple just cemented path with railing. Could fish there, very fast water. View of the blue bridge. Only parking super close by is street parking which was fine cause there was no one else there

★★★★☆ — Grace , Aug 2022

Have everything for family: you may fishing, may walking around the lake, let dog play in dog area, play tennis, do exercises, be with children on 2 playgronds, just read on the benches, or have lunch on picnic table.

★★★★★ — Nataliya , Aug 2025

Beautiful place to take a walk. There is a tree just after the board walk it's self that is just wonderful to sit under as the waves break on the cement and the ships float on by.

★★★★★ — Matthew , Oct 2021

Beautiful views of the river and Canada. Nothing for kids to do, but there is a great walking path right along the river.

★★★★☆ — Dennis , Mar 2021

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.
