Confirmed from Rivers' Bend 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.
River-adjacent park offering a playground, picnic tables and tennis courts, as well as trails and fields.
What runners say about Rivers' Bend Park
“Great place to walk on a fairly well maintained tared path.”
Love this park. Nice walking trails and right on the Rum river. There's plenty of space to play games in the field and there are grills to BBQ on. Also good fishing and lots of people pull their kayaks out of the river there.
Lots of beautiful nature right next to the river; birds, butterflies, snakes, etc. Nice open space and wide paths. Pavement is a little old but no potholes. Flat walking path is good for a few laps.
Good place to walk. Easy circle and not rrally alot of people there. And it's along the river. A bit harder to find as it's tucked away in a neighborhood.
This is an excellent spot to walk for exercise. There's a loop trail that's almost exactly 1/2 mile around. So it's easy to walk the distance you want. It's flat and not heavily used at all. There are also lots of spots to sit and watch the birds or look at the Rum River flowing slowly past.
Trail conditions & character
