We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Shoshone Riverway Trail and Boat Access yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“Beautiful and the bathrooms were not gross like most places it was nice just watch out for midges i got bit so baddly”

Great place to access the Shoshone river to fish or boat. Nice flat trail for walking along the river. There are benches for looking at the river. Covered picnic tables are also available here.

★★★★☆ — Lisa , Sep 2020

Really nice spot. I came for birding along the trail, which is really nice and beautiful the whole way. We had lunch on the picnic tables right overlooking the river and tons of people were fishing.

★★★★★ — Abby , Apr 2021

Beautiful place for a walk, picnic or boat ramp to take in/off with your raft/kayak/boat. Nice changing room and bathroom

★★★★★ — Gi , Apr 2022

Rock trail with oil or something on it to keep dust down. Nice views of river. 2.7 miles the way we went.

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.
