Confirmed from Krossroads Park (Rainbow 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.

“Very nice park with lots of fun things to play on for all ages of children”

What a 💎 Gem! Conveniently located amongst all the shopping, you forget when you step onto the trail. Great 2 mile trail loop with beautiful surroundings and even has a cute little free library! This place is special! Get you steps in before doing shopping 🛍 and doing errands. It's quaint and safe.

★★★★★ — Kristen , Jun 2021

A very beautiful place. Quiet, clean and family friendly. A nice paved path around a beautiful lake. A lake that has fish in it. The fishing is nice. Has a playground for children as well. Definitely a must see. Conveniently located on the eastside of Walmart...

★★★★★ — Ancient , Jun 2022

Never very busy here. Nice clean path. Well kept. Perfect place for a quiet Sunday stroll.

★★★★★ — Hillary , May 2019

Great place for an afternoon walk! The walking path is in good condition and usually not busy. Walked all the way to the end and loop back, and my phone logged about 2 miles total. Only a small portion of the walk is shaded by trees, would recommend bringing hat or sunglasses and sunscreen for sunnier days.

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.
