Confirmed from Pendleton 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.
Park featuring a paved walkway along the shoreline, plus dog bag stations.
What runners say about Pendleton Riverwalk
“The paved trail follows the Umatilla River on the Levee and offers great views of the city.”
“Well maintained, dog bag stations along the walk.”
Good spot for fishing and bringing little boys who love the water and throwing rocks in the water there are nice spots for them to stand in even though the water is running pretty fast. We drove all the way from Walla Walla just to come down and take the Riverwalk it's nice scenery people seem friendly as they walk by.
The gem of Pendleton. 3 miles of gently sloping, paved walkway suitable for walking, bikes, rollerscates and spotting native animals. Full river views with safety lights, sitting benches,video monitoring,WiFi and bicycle police monitoring. Stretches from the Skate Park to the Little League Park.
Very pretty walk. Dog loved the shoreline. Few signs of encampments and graffiti but mostly clean
Well maintained, dog bag stations along the walk. Parking is a little hard to find.
