Confirmed from Raynolds Trail Head'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.
Scenic local park for biking and hiking along the Arkansas River with fishing opportunities.

Beautiful trail. Beware of the dogs off leash and their entitled owners.
Beautiful year round. Nice trail, safe for walking, running, bike riding. Plenty of scenery to enjoy and maybe photograph. Informative plaques are great! They even provide specific sanitary bags to dispose of what your dog may have left behind. Easy access parking.
Pretty hike along the river. 🐕, 🚲, and whole families are welcome. There are exercise stops along the trail as well as benches to sit and watch the river.
One of my favorite areas to walk with the dog. Lots of trails on the non-river side.
