Confirmed from Mississippi Point 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.

★★★★★ — Alaina , Sep 2020

Stopped by Q Fanatic down the road and brought here for a lovely meal by the river. I absolutely loved this park. It was quaint, quiet and very scenic.

★★★★★ — Brady , Jul 2020

Nice little park. We stopped here on a road trip to take a little break from the car and it was a perfect place to stretch our legs and let the dog run. There are picnic tables and plenty of shade.

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.

“Beautiful park on either side of the river, Anoka and Champlain.”
