Confirmed from Richard's Valley Loop 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. 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 Richard's Valley Loop Trail
A shorter hiking area and gets muddy during rain but a pleasant area to access for a short reprieve from the concrete and cars nearby. Not really a loop but there are a couple of diverging paths that end up reconnecting.
Cute little trail. It's narrow and is not really a loop. The park is cute too.
