Confirmed from Redhorse Bend'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.
Park with a river for fishing, hiking, and relaxation.

“Beautiful little park with a great canoe launch”
Great fishing spot also if your up for it there's a great dog trail! The trail is mostly for fisherman so its a hike off a beaten path!
Nice little spot off of the river. Good for fishing and dirt trail hiking

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceNatural surface — easiest on the joints and the most fun, but expect roots, rocks and mud after rain
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
