Confirmed from Swift River Greenbelt Conservation Area & Universal Access Loop/Bike/Hiking Trail'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.

It is a very lovely place to walk the trails are nice and it is maintained extremely well. The gazebo is nice even though it does has a little bit of graffiti on it. Still a nice place to have a picnic!
It is nice and shady, a little uneven grounds. still nice to walk near the River . Just make to sure to have some Insect Repellent
Wow, walking this trail under a warm August sunset is really something magical. Thanks Taylor Swift
