Confirmed from River Trail Park'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 Park
“Beautiful walk along the Looking Glass river but only a 1/2 mile loop.”
Nice park connected by a short walk to another park, a walking trail and the Looking Glass River. There are public restrooms and covered picnic tables available. We have had several picnics in the grassy area next to the playground, which works well enough to keep my 3 and 8 year old busy.
