Confirmed from Riverwalk Bike Path'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.

“A paved walking and hiking trail along the scenic Chadakoin river.”

Nice quiet little river walk with lots of seating along the way. Comedy club is a great starting or finish point

★★★★★ — Jason , Jul 2022

A paved walking and hiking trail along the scenic Chadakoin river. Well maintained with a lot of park structure improvements such as park benches. Has a nice mix of natural and city landscapes with easy access at several different parks. I definitely recommend checking it out if you visit Jamestown.

★★★★★ — Sheldon , Oct 2020

Absolutely love this bike path, great walking, biking trail with a little play area and dock off to the sides for viewing the geese, ducks and.......pigeons😒

★★★★★ — Shameka , Apr 2021

Nice view but the path map is a bit confusing for us since we do not live in the area. We gave up after a short ride about 7 minutes.

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

  • SurfaceMixed — more than one surface along the route, so check the segment you plan to run
  • 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.
