Confirmed from Link River 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.
Waterside scenic route with views of the Link River and Klamath Falls, popular for birdwatching and animal sightings.
What runners say about Link River Trailhead
“I did see a couple diamonds that I did not take but the medium or easy paths were well-maintained and beautiful!”
“The trail has a few small ups and downs but generally it's a pretty easy walk in the fresh air and the views are great.”
Nice gravel trail that is easy to walk with no obstructions. Wheelchair accessible, child, dog and bike friendly. There are hidden side trails to go near the water and one up to moore.
Always an amazing hike so close to town. It has an express lane as well as plenty of side quests and stunning rest stops. This trail changes throughout the seasons and has something for everyone.
Easy walk on a nice flat path. Lots of wonderful things to see along the way. Beautiful cat tails, tall grasses, and so many plum and apple trees. River views, tons of birds and plenty of free paved parking.
Nice little hike. It’s about 3 mile hike to the end and back. Good views of the river and wildlife ducks
