Confirmed from Pre's Trail'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.

“There is both a bike path and running trail, which is great if you prefer not to be run over.”

I love Pre's trail. For biking, strolling about, and walking my dog. Lovely area with nice scenery. There is both a bike path and running trail, which is great if you prefer not to be run over.

Visited: 08/06/2023 We walked this trail from Springfield to Eugene. Really nice trail with lots of nice views. It was nice to enjoy the fresh air and watch the river rush by under the bridge. Plenty to trees to keep you shaded from the sun, and wildlife and flowers to occupy the time. Loved this trail.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
