We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Ralph Wilson Gateway & 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.
What runners say about Ralph Wilson Gateway & Trail
Belle Isle is a beautiful island across from Detroit and Windsor. We love the bike trails along the island with views of the Detroit River where you catch freighters and boats of all sizes.
