Confirmed from Mary’s Oak Trailhead, Clarksville Greenway'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.
Greenway trailhead for walking and biking alongside the banks of the Red River and West Fork Creek.

Love walking the whole trail. You get to see things like this. Make sure you walk the entire 12 mile walk. About 6 miles both ways. Lets get it. Walk responsibly
This is a great place to get a solid run, stretching it a little can get up to 10-12 miles. The trees and the shade provide protection during warmer days and beautiful scenery. Always see lots of critters and animals. Kids love to come here and run, ride bikes, scooters, etc.
Gorgeous area. Nicely paved for walking, running, bike ride, strollers, etc. There is a bathroom midway (after about 2 miles from where I started) the trees are really lovely to look at. Lots of wildlife. Saw deer, a cardinal, lots of squirrels and chipmunks.
