We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of River Mountain Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Most of the trails are well marked and managed.”
Beautiful place to spend a the day, nice trails, bathrooms, kayak and bike rentals. Take snacks and drinks or enjoy a picnic bar the water.
We are avid hikers and absolutely love the convenience of this trail. Easy access, great variations in terrain, and a variety of options for the beginner as well as those looking for a moderately strenuous hike. We usually see quite a few deer and small animals, i.e., squirrels, chipmunks, etc.
I believe this is an hidden gem of little rock , I was well impressed with the trail, clearly marked , watch out for riders , but open to all and great hike for sure , take the time and come see it , also we did fox trail and that opened up an hole new adventure, you can hike to pinnicale Mountian from here
Beautiful, well-managed trails. Several to choose from. Made for a lovely afternoon for my Husband and I. Great trails to take the kids biking on or to walk the dogs!! Bring your camera!! It's very pretty.
