Confirmed from Kiwanis 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 Kiwanis Trail
Walked through this trail at around 11pm at night and I didn’t get human trafficked or abducted, so it was an absolutely great experience.
Nice, short, quiet trail that runs about a 1/4 of a mile one way between Francis and Gilchrist. The trail head sign says enter via Williams but the trail itself begins on Francis. I parked at the elementary school parking lot and then walked to the trailhead.
Surprisingly wild trail in the city. Cool seating area if you go all the way in.
Nice trail. About a mile long, then it dead ends so you have to backtrack back. I am beginner, so it's safe to say that you'll struggle a bit if you're a beginner. Nevertheless, try it!
