Confirmed from Rogue River 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.
Multiuse park featuring a playground, tennis courts and picnic tables, alongside a river viewpoint.

Very nice park for hiking, walking the dog, biking and picnics. Trails were clean (watch for poison ivy, there's plenty there) and well marked. There is a stream and ponds to explore along the trails as well as a huge inventory of plants.
