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.

“Great day with the family very adorable clean the children loved it.”

Nice park, right by Rexburg rapids. We love coming here to walk around, play on the dirt bike park and throw our frisbee.

★★★★★ — Clint , May 2022

I love riverside park! It's great place to have a picnic, go bike riding, explore, or take a walk.

★★★★★ — Natalie , Jun 2022

Fun little park with a water park, soccer and football fields, a play ground and a bike park. Also has a walking path and there is plenty of parking.

★★★★★ — Lynell , Jul 2021

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

The practical stuff

  • AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
  • Stroller / wheelchairReported as smooth and step-free enough for a running stroller or a chair.
