Confirmed from Mississippi Greenway Trailhead: North Riverfront Park-South Entrance'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.

Scenic

Family-friendly park at the banks of the Mississippi River featuring trails for walking and biking.

“Super💥💯😍😍 Awesome spot when your alone ❤not to mention😅 the absolutely stunning river running ☺☺as the sun beam you almost forget your in the 🌆 city ❤😍😍💯”

Nice that the parking lot technically opens 30 mins before sunrise. Starting the trail before daybreak. Definitely something to do more often

★★★★★ — B , Apr 2022

Well paved, scenic trail. Take essentials with you like: Plenty of drinking water, a snack or two, toilet tissue, and a few tire tubes because there or long stretches of exposure to heat and the elements with very few facilities around.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
