Confirmed from River's Edge 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.
Park offering a pond and river views, plus trails, benches, and a public restroom.

“A Great place to walk jog run or fish etc!”

“Has trails & plenty of peace & quiet.”
Nice little park in the Chesterfield Valley. It is a 1.65 mile loop around a small pond. Very easy hike. Flat surface with no elevation except a very small incline to get to the trail from the parking lot. The main trail is gravel, and there is a mulched trail as well.
It had a level gravel trail. It has a beautiful lake you can walk around. There were plenty of parking at the entrance. There were a lot of trees with shade on the trail. I had great time walking on those trails.
I was dog sitting my old boy(12 years young) and we came to this park to get some cardio. We walked 3 miles and took some breaks along the way on these benches. Such a great park.
Looking for a nice place to walk with nice scenery? River’s Edge Park in Chesterfield is a nice option. Located in the Valley by The Factory. Went with a friend and it was just a really nice walk. I always love being surrounded by trees and water.
