We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Provo River Walk 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.
What runners say about Provo River Walk
“Gorgeous path along the river!”
“I love running/walking on this trail.”
My favorite place to walk the dogs. Beautiful river. Great picnic spot. Not a place for off leash dogs. Please pick up your dogs waste.
It's a great running trail. I use it about three times a week, and its awesome. I love how there are lots of mile markers.
Living pretty close to this trail, I do enjoy using it to ride a bike to and from work. With tree roots making a few bumps on the trail here and there, it isn't a smooth ride for they street bike that I have, but nothing unbearable.
I love running/walking on this trail. Great way to get my daily dose of fresh air!
