Confirmed from Mills Riverside Park'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.
Outdoor space featuring picnic tables, trails for hiking and sledding and off-leash areas for dogs.
What runners say about Mills Riverside Park
“Beautiful scenery with spectacular views of the mountains and the river.”
“Beautiful views, relaxing trails, and dog-friendly.”
Great park with good hiking trails that are clearly marked. Picnic tables and pavilion areas for gatherings.
Great place to walk your dogs, play sports. Picnic and yes Fish. Caught this nice Large Mouth Bass in the pond. Remember Fishing buddies , Catch them and release them so you can " Hook up with them again!" Capt.Mal
Love the farmers market. Awesome park. I love dogs. FYI the covered bridge is gone but the trails are great. 😊
Great local park with long riverfront area, big off leash section for dogs, slow tubing-like shallow river, 4.2 miles of total trails, pond, big covered shelter. Was a great option for a flatter place to hike. Many locals there. Easy parking.
