Confirmed from Row River Nature 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.

Someone told me about this walking and bike trail, so I decided to check it out. We walked from one end to the other. It was very pretty and relaxing. We saw baby bunnies, turtles, bull frogs and birds. I will definitely go again
One of my favorite places, lots of birds and even turtles! Great for when you want an easy short walk.
