Confirmed from Riverside 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 recreational facilities such as an ice rink, pool, playground, and trails.
What runners say about Riverside Park
“Very beautiful area with some of the most breathtaking winter scenery.”
Great park with a nice trail that goes along the river. Good fishing below the wier and the pool has been keeping the neighborhood cool for generations.
Very nice walk, and nice historical plaques around to read. Amazing to see how high the river can flood as there are large embankments all over the walk. Long route for those that want a bunch of scenery.
Great park with an excellent walking path. However there is almost no lighting so if you're going on an evening expedition a headlamp is highly recommended.
Very popular park in Grand Forks, ND. Lots of bike and walking paths. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the shade of hugh trees, don't forget to bring your dog.
