Confirmed from Kohl's 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 11 mentions

“I often see deer and once saw a beautiful blue heron during a walk and talk therapy session with a client”

🏃 great for running 4 mentions

“Great place to walk, run, bike, even handcycle.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“One of the most peaceful places to go for a walk its very scenic, just be careful for the bike riders.”

This particular trail-head gives you some options: left goes under the highway and past Ravenwood area, and right goes down to a river boardwalk... That will take you all the way to the lake/dam area and dog park.

★★★★★ — Abby , Sep 2021

Really pretty Trail to walk or run or whatever your fancy! I came here looking for a little opening for my dog to possibly go swimming. I know there's places over by the lake but that's like a 45 minute drive for me. I ended up finding a perfect little beach spot for him!

★★★★★ — Sidney , Aug 2023

Great walking, running, bicycling path. If you head to the Dam you walk along the river. If you head to Shelby Bottoms Park you kind of go through the woods a little. Very nice outdoor activity.

★★★★★ — Del , Oct 2020

Excellent whether running, biking or walking. Good split that gets you to the dam or heads you toward Lebanon Pike. Variety of wildlife if you get out early.

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.
