Confirmed from Leon Creek Greenway The Rim 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.
What runners say about Leon Creek Greenway The Rim Trailhead
“This trailhead is always nice and clean and usually has plenty of parking (except on a Saturday morning which is understandable).”
“Another great running/biking paved trail.”
Flat and paved nature trail in the RIM area. Good parking and well maintained.
We had a lot of fun on this trail. It is wide which is perfect during the pandemic. It has a lot of cute features too. Nice limestone bricks in places. The path if you go north is pretty with a lot of greenery. And it goes uphill for a good workout. My kids loved it and my wife did too.
Great (fairly new) place for walking, running & biking. Wide trails, some in & some out of sun. Lots to see. Several places to access as well. Get out & exercise!
Excellent place to start cycling either on the Greenway itself or on local roads. This trailhead is always nice and clean and usually has plenty of parking (except on a Saturday morning which is understandable).
