We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Norwalk River Valley Trail (Skunk Lane Entrance) 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.

Very nicely maintained trail. It's not complete yet so you need to walk in and out on the same path. Their are plans for the trail to be finished.
