Confirmed from Reed Creek Greenway'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.
Short greenway featuring a paved trail along a creek and scenic views.

Beautiful greenway lush with greenery and well paved roads in historic Montford neighborhood. Clean, well maintained and family friendly.
I parked at the park and walked around the cute neighborhood. I was visiting from Florida and had a beautiful fall walk with my toy poodle.
Really beautiful trail! Botanical Garden is right off the path and has many flowers and mature trees. Recommend!
Went for an autumn afternoon walk with the dogs there recently. Beautiful landscape paved walkways and beautiful stone hard scape entrances. A long low babbling creek to disguise your gossip with friends is along side and there’s lights and emergency phones along the way.
