Confirmed from Park at Manderson Landing'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.
Scenic park along the Black Warrior River featuring a bike path and picnic tables.

We always enjoy our time in this park specially the side walk River view. it's clean full of trees and very beautiful. The area is Peaceful and quiet great for hangingout with friends , family or by yourself. It's nice for picnics or outdoor games. Also there are plenty seating areas.
The the river walk starts at Maderson Landing and loops around the Amphitheater. It is about 4 miles if you start complete a lap down and back. Pretty good for walking the pups or for a morning jog. Good for students who want a change from the trails on campus.
Liked it from the very first sight. The place is clean and the river adds to its beauty. Has a lot of space for gathering and spending a really nice time. People also love to walk and run here.
Love this park, always quiet with pleasant people and great place to take pics by the water. Can sit under trees and has tables to seat at and walks along the river.
