Confirmed from Riverwalk: Theo Pkwy Trailhead'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.

“It's really peaceful here love it when I come in to town love to read a book here and just enjoy the scenery”

One of my favorite places to go kayaking. We don’t live too far away, so we just put the kayaks in the truck and drive a couple of miles to get in the water.

★★★★★ — Rose , Jan 2023

Nice wide trails. Not crowded. Interesting mix of people. Bike repair stations. Covered picnic areas.. Sunshine fresh air for everyone.

★★★★★ — Sloan , Dec 2020

It's not too elevated so you can actually run at a steady pace. Plenty of people fishing around at all the water spots.

★★★★★ — Atom , Oct 2024

Nice spot to walk about, follow the trail and you will hit river center mall. There's a park right by that bridge

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.
