We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Mill Race Path Bridge yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Mill Race Path Bridge
Great bike riding path. Bathrooms at the beginning and at Jasper road, also at Clearwater. great scenery. Only downside is when the train comes and you have to wait forever to get across the tracks. Too bad downtown Springfield isn't more bike friendly.
Killer access to nature trail bike path running down to Jasper & Clearwater. Parking. Bathrooms. Birds. Well done, Springfield!
One of the best nature places in the region!!! I've seen 14 species of birds on the path!
