Confirmed from Remington Recreation Trail'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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“It's quiet, everyone is very friendly, and well maintained.”

We always refer to this trail as "Partridge Run" after the surrounding golf course. Nice, wide, paved trails. Always well maintained. Really an ideal spot for a walk, run, or bike ride. Also fantastic for strollers or wagons. One of the top destinations for our family over the years of living in the Canton area.

★★★★★ — The , Jul 2021

This is a great 3.2 mile paved trail that meanders its way over streams through wooded areas and through meadows. It has benches along the way in case you need a rest it even has a lean to on the far side of the trail in case you get caught out in the rain or want to rest in a dry place.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
