Confirmed from Riverbend Loop 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 Riverbend Loop Trail
The part of the path behind the Mount Vernon Walmart is paved but becomes dirt shortly after. Great shade over the paved part for a short walk (walking the entire loop and back is under a mile). Out in the dirt part of the trail is a pond with lots of birds and other wildlife.
