Confirmed from Licking River 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.
What runners say about Licking River Greenway Trailhead
It's a nice quiet walk along the river away from the business of the city. It really is a gem. It could be longer, or if it is, there needs to be signs directing you which way to go. I love the painted murals.
This is a pleasant bike ride or walk that follows the top of the dike. There are several access points along the way. It's mostly flat but also has some pronounced hills, both up and down. My only complaint is that it's too short. This can't be helped, though.
