Confirmed from Sue Grossman Still River Greenway'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.
Scenic paved trail for strolling, running, cycling and scootering, with dog-friendly areas. Some sections run close to the road.
What runners say about Sue Grossman Still River Greenway
“Trails are clean, safe and perfectly sunny with little bits of shade here and there.”
“Its a beautiful place to get out and enjoy nature.”
A nice paved walking trail. Great for walking, running, and bicycling. Good trail for dogs and families. The total length of the trail is about 7 miles out and back. Late spring through summer there are a variety of flowers and plants to see. There are plenty of benches along the way for resting and good views.
The Greenway was better than expected. Level asphalt, but no shade. No bathroom facilities. Beware of ticks off the path, and black flies near the stream.
Would rate a 5 star if people cleaned up their dog waste. Always some dog waste on the trail. Maybe put a couple of garbage receptacles along the trail?
It's a good area to exercise It is a very good area for family exercise and cycling. it is about 7 to 8 miles round trip.
