Confirmed from Pynchon Point'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.
Casual riverfront park featuring fishing, kayaking, picnics and scenery.

Nice little rest stop ...walk down short paved path to get to river's edge to fish ,there are also picknic tables to sit at ...plus a poke' stop for those who play Pokemon go lol
Riverside waterline with a single picnic table down a short foot path. Then some sand areas to see water and bridge but unsanitary and wouldn't swim here.

“It can be a tranquil little spot overlooking the bustling Springfield downtown area, and if you’re lucky you may get to enjoy a bon fire!”
