Confirmed from Riverfront 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 Riverfront Park
“It was very clean and seemed well maintained.”
“What a scenic small park right near the Red River.”
What a scenic small park right near the Red River. It's a nice oasis of nature in the downtown area of Moorhead near the Center Mall. There is a gazebo, log cabin and horse shoe pit. There are bus stops nearby and a parking lot. The River Arts event in summer happens here. New to the park are blue beaver statues.
I ran a couple miles in the park every morning. It was very clean and seemed well maintained. The sunrises were beautiful.
I love coming here to rest after my work day and or to chill with a meal. I do plenty of photography here, and frequently come up with new ideas to innovate said photography. It’s a wonderful park for children to run around and play on the playground.
