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 Red Cedar Pkwy Trailhead - Lansing River Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I walked around the ponds near brody hall while on the phone and had was met which a surprisingly fun and beautiful trail. the walk next to the urban development isn’t too pretty, but the trail near the water is really nice.
