Confirmed from Oxbow Ridge'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 Oxbow Ridge
“New, quiet and peaceful preserve with some pristine nature, the river is absolutely beautiful.”
Champaign Forest Preserve District has done it again! New, quiet and peaceful preserve with some pristine nature, the river is absolutely beautiful. Hiked the River Loop Trail (the only trail as of 2026) which was only 0.3 miles, I do wish there was more but I’m still happy that another piece of land is now preserved.
I'm excited to see the expansion of this wooded area! It appears they will be adding another trail by 2027. We enjoyed the short trail near the river. There was some flooding due to recent storms, but it was still a peaceful place to be! Visited 6/23/2026.
