Confirmed from King Riverside Conservation Area'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.

Absolutely beautiful trail to take a hike on. Walked with my fiance and dog. One of my favorite trail so far.

★★★★★ — Ryan , Mar 2023

Nice trail along the river and cross creeks. Could be a bit muddy after rain. Come with kids and dogs. Recommend.
