Confirmed from Little Confluence 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.
Paved and earth trails plus a river run through a park with benches, where you might see birds.

“Short, fun little trail, perfect for walking the dog and getting out into nature without having to go far from the house!”
This is my favorite walking trail! Lots of birds to see. If you're lucky you'll see beavers and muskrats in the river. Dogs are welcome on leash
Dog friendly, long winding trails including dirt, gravel, paved. No inclines. Super easy hike.
Cute trail for anyone to do. There are bike trails you can walk through too that follow along the Jordan River Parkway. The paved area of the trail near the parking lot seems to have gotten quite a bit unruly. It looked like whoever planned to control the landscaping gave up.
Just went for a short walk on the trail. The trail is very long. Good for hiking/walking from point to point. If you have a bicycle, you can ride the whole trail. Where we were there is a Maverick on the corner.
