Confirmed from Parker Drive Trailhead'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.
Paved river-front trail, well-suited to strolling and biking excursions.

A great spot to get on the trail. It has a good amount of parking, as well as clean bathrooms, and a drinking fountain. The trail itself offers a great walk along the river and makes it’s easy to get to the water to fish or just explore.
Great walk first thing in the morning. By the river. All asphalt. Be mindful of wildlife
This is a fairly nice trailhead with camera monitored free parking lot, and improved restrooms. There is a water fountain and a single covered picnic table. The trail access is well marked and the main trail is paved.
Good access to the trail. Facilities are usually in working order. Provides a great opportunity for a nice walk or bike ride. As the seasons pass the trail changes. If you suffer from cottonwood allergies make sure to take allergy medication in the spring. The section north has a lot of shade.
