Confirmed from Thornapple Riverbend Greenspace'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.
What runners say about Thornapple Riverbend Greenspace
It's a nice open area not very well developed for a park but like it's described it is a green space good place for walking dogs probably I flew my drone there it's right near the Thornapple River worth a stop by if you're looking for open spaces
Nice little path that follows the river. This is an out and back trail if you go to the end, but it has a few small loops along the way. The trail is pretty well maintained (down trees have been cut through, beginning of the path is mowed, etc) but it is not a paved trail.
