We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Petal River Park Mtb Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

Peaceful park featuring hiking paths and mountain-bike trails, plus views of the river.

“Great park, well-maintained!”

The newest walking track in Petal. Very nice environment with lots of greenery. I brought my kids here, and they really liked it too!

★★★★★ — Malissa , Jul 2019

The River Park has miles of trails suitable for hiking or riding a bike. The only facility is a Port O Let so washing up or getting a drink isn't gonna happen.

★★★★☆ — Charles , Mar 2021

1st time to here and prefer trails over Bethel and off Long Leaf. Soil is better more grip than hard pack sandy trails. But hey this is south ms.

★★★★☆ — Sean , Apr 2019

Great relaxing place for a walk or mountain bike ride. I just wish they wouldn't keep mowing the fields down!

★★★★☆ — Kaleb , Aug 2019
