We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Smith River Trails 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.

What runners say about Smith River Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (6 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Very short trail along side of the river. A place to launch a boat. However across the street was Doe Run Park with two trails. Doe Run and Laural trails. Walked both, well maintained and marked.

★★★★★ — B , May 2023

Amazing place to with friends, it was quite beautiful walking beside the river. They have bench’s and their is allot of wild life.

★★★★★ — Meika , Jan 2023
