We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Old Warren Street Trail 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.

What runners say about Old Warren Street Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Great way for pedestrians to get between downtown Mankato and the MSU campus on top of the hill through a beautiful natural setting with very little if any traffic. Warren Street, which is now divided into two segments, used to connect here.

★★★★★ — John , Jun 2017

Nice shortcut up the hill. Ignore the new illegal private property signs at the bottom. It's city land

★★★★☆ — Zac , Sep 2025

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.
