Confirmed from Riparian 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 Riparian Trail
“Well maintained and the distance of the trail was very manageable.”
Trail is nice but there's no direct parking if you're driving to get to the trail. Best place to park may be Chesterfield Central Park lot by the aquatic center. Cross Lydia Hill Rd at the intersection of Veterans Drive and there's a trail entrance between the apartment buildings.
Great trail, well kept, not busy. Some hills and a nice walk around a lake. You can park at central park to get to the trail which is behind the apartments.
Such a beautiful trail, very clean and serene beauty around. Best place for a short trail for a weekend. Must visit place.
Nice, short, heavily wooded path through the woods. Not a lot of ups and downs and well maintained.
