Confirmed from Owego Riverwalk'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.

What runners say about Owego Riverwalk

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (54 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“A short (but sweet) and scenic stroll along the shores of the Susquehanna River in this delightful little town along the border between NY and PA.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Peaceful place to gather you thoughts, watch this large river march on, and play Pokemon!”

Peaceful place to gather you thoughts, watch this large river march on, and play Pokemon! Downtown Owego is home to almost 20 stops and gyms. Walking the circuit allows one to capture not only these fantastical mons, but soak in the relaxed and warm atmosphere that surrounds this lovely trail.

★★★★☆ — Vincent , Jan 2022

Great scenic, short walk along the river. Lots to look at and Owego itself is a beautiful town.

★★★★★ — Allyson , Aug 2019

Had a nice walk on the river. Flowers beautiful and very peaceful place

★★★★☆ — Michelle , Jul 2021

It's just a nice little shaded path next to the river for about a quarter mile and a tiny little city park where you can sit or let your kid play for a while. No playground or facilities though, so plan accordingly.

★★★★☆ — Christopher , Aug 2021

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.
