We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Riverside Waterfall yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 opportunities for walking and photography, plus a waterfall.
What runners say about Riverside Waterfall
“Beautiful Park, was passed by 3 runners while walking the mile and a half track that runs across the street from Riverside Red X through the woods.”
Beautiful and nice rain area to walk. Very nicely kept up. Can be seen from the road but the walking trial is a much nicer experience when visiting the waterfall.
My new favorite picturesque place. The waterfall was beautiful , I really enjoyed the walking trail. It was easy parking right on the side of the road. My family enjoyed visiting, I will definitely be back.
Beautiful Park, was passed by 3 runners while walking the mile and a half track that runs across the street from Riverside Red X through the woods. The waterfall towards the center is beautiful and the fountain also was a nice pit stop. Great smoothly paved trail. Makes for a nice short hike.
Great place to take pictures. Area is always clean! Everyone does a great job picking up after themselves. Great walking paths.
