Confirmed from River Park North'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.
324-acre parkland offering 5 fishing ponds, 2 piers, campsites, boat rentals, trails & picnic areas.
What runners say about River Park North
“The campgrounds were clean but need a little TLC around the lake no clear place to fish at the lake close to the camp grounds.”
“This beautiful park on the North side of the Tar river is a lovely fisherman's delight.”
“This was a great place to go on an easy hike.”
This was a great place to go on an easy hike. Lots of trails to venture to. Beautiful area to see some nature and get your steps in. There are also options for fishing, camping, and kayaking. This area is also pet friendly. Absolutely would recommend!
This beautiful park on the North side of the Tar river is a lovely fisherman's delight. I don't fish but more than half of the people I saw were ready for it. Lots of kayaks too. It has multiple big ponds so you don't have to worry about the current and they have multiple docks as well. The walking paths are wonderful.
This is one of our favorite parks right now in the greenville area! We love all the nature, water spots, trails, activities, and cleanliness!! We always have a good time and always something new to explore!
A great place for walking trails! A few ponds and a cool little house to camp in. Alot to see here! 10/10
