Confirmed from Riverwoods State Natural Area'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.
Nature preserve with kid-friendly hiking trails.

Beautiful walking path along the Wolf River. Wide, paved and brand new in 2016. Part of the Wolf River Greenbelt, extending to the Mississippi River
Wonderful segment of the greenway bike trail. You never know what cool places you find along the way. These trails are a great stress reliever.

I had great walk for this to be Memphis. People are friendly in the area and the path was clean. I felt safe.
