Confirmed from Star River Walk 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.
Riverside park with groomed trails for hiking, swimming and picnics, plus a rope swing.
What runners say about Star River Walk Park
“Nice walk down by the river, very clean and well kept without paving the entire stretch.”
“Scenic, has some wild life mostly squirrels and ducks.”
“A quiet, relaxing walk where the dogs were able to burn off a ton of energy and we met so many friendly people and dogs along the way.”
“Easy trail, but some loose rock areas and in February there was lots of mud.”
“My dog and I had a great time walking the path and she did some swimming.”
Loved this trail and so did the pups! Lots of places for the dogs to swim and tons of room to run and chase a ball. We explored the trail until the end (private property) and we walked about 4 miles total. Easy trail, but some loose rock areas and in February there was lots of mud.
I truly enjoyed this natural beauty and all the surrounding areas filled with the delicious aromas coming from the flowering trees, the sound of the running river all around the pathway, friendly people walking their dogs and having time to say hello....
This park early in the morning is an excellent to start your day. Walking the zig zag trails through the underbrush and trees along the river running by the park. They have pick nick parks and that is about all. No playground equipment equipment just peace and quiet.
Went for a Sunday morning walk with my husband. Beautiful trail. Slightly uneven, wouldn't recommend families with a stroller . We walked to the end and crossed a dry riverbed. While you are walking you can hear the river running over rocks. We saw a few people fishing. All in all I will definitely be back.
