Confirmed from Runyon Creek Trail at UNT Dallas' 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.

This was a great trail to walk! It’s clean, nature is all around and it seemed pretty safe during the day. I would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for a moderate trail to explore. When we arrived, there were security staff present which made us feel safer.
Great trail. Nicely paved. The air is really good here and it is very clean. The only improvement opportunity I see is they should put some exercise bars. Like monkey bars, dip bars, pull up bars etc. Lots of space for em
Beautiful peaceful jogging and biking area. Went today for the first time and enjoyed it. Started at the University. If parking in this lot be aware the police 🚓 will be watching activity inn parking lot.
