Confirmed from River Trail at Great Bend'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 River Trail at Great Bend
“Beautiful easy to moderate trail with views of the Black River.”
“Very easy trail along the black river, connecting Black River to Felt mills.”
Beautiful easy to moderate trail with views of the Black River. Great spots to take pics. Dog friendly, my 5 month old lab did amazing!
Awesome trail that’s not too long. Has amazing scenery with dense greenery and the background sound of rushing water.
Probably the best trail in the area. The other great one is not paved and is near base
This is a great trail, very natural but well used. So, lots of roots and rocks to watch out for, not good for biking, but hiking and trail running are perfect.
