Confirmed from Old Town Waverly 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.
Public park featuring 2 miles of paved trail along the White River and a playground.

Nice paved 2 mile path along the river. It is kept pretty clean and the majority of users work to keep it that way.
Plenty of mature shade trees. Historical little town with some areas to read and walk around. Playground for kids. Access to the water and trails. Plenty of space to relax with the family. We had a picnic and only saw 1 other person.
Enjoyed taking my dog for a walk here. Path is quiet, wide enough for people to pass. Runs along the river, which is beautiful.
A quiet and wonderful little park, great place to slow things down and just listen to the sounds around you. Also a great place to walk the dog or picnic. They also have boards around the park with interesting information about the surrounding area.
