Confirmed from Munter Hiking Trail'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.
Recreation site with a 2-mile trail that's popular for hiking, jogging, and early-morning walks.

Nice little trail! Well kept and clean. Love the little river over looks. Will walk again!
This trail is a nice and easy walk along the river and has been very clean every time I've gone. There are a couple viewing docks along the path that provide a wonderful view over the river. The entrance is next to Stewart's, so it is nice to stop and grab some ice cream while taking a walk.
Early morning walks are the best on 5hese nice little trail easily accessible from town
We stopped at Stewart's after for a well deserved treat. They also have public restrooms as well. Trail is a little over 2 miles. There are a few benches & picnic tables to rest if needed. Few inclines but nothing that last long.
