Confirmed from Old River 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.
Hiking spot offering kid-friendly paths and nature appreciation, plus the option for dogs.
What runners say about Old River Trail
“Wish there was a little more water view but beautiful place”
Love this little trail. ❤️ Great swimming spots along the trail too. Cool fruits and flowers to also find.
Awesome quick easy walking path. Perfect for walking the dogs or just getting in some time with nature.
Beautiful hike along Blackwater River. There are benches and this trail is dog friendly.
I absolutely love this trail! It isn't very long, but the views are amazing. You can see the Bayou on on side of the trail and the river on the other. There is a little spot off the trail that has a secluded little beach. I recommend checking this trail out of you haven't before!

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
