Confirmed from Riverfront Levee 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 Riverfront Levee Trail
So lucky to have this beautiful trail to walk! We parked at the other end at Pirozzolo Park and walked the loop. Nice trail to bike or walk! 🚶♀️🚲
The trail is best accessed from Pizzalo Park rather than the Grove Street access. The trail head there is not obvious and the blind hill to get to the fishing and recreational launch site is not pleasant if you aren't used to blind hills. The levee trail itself loops with a waterside trail and is quite nice.
They're in the first phase of creating a walking trail alongside the chemung river
