Confirmed from Trinity Trails River Park Trailhead'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.

Great place to run, walk, or fish. Great spots on the trail with benches and plenty of nature and wildlife.

★★★★★ — Manuel , Feb 2025

Awesome section of the Trinity Trails. Big parking lot and bikes for rent. There is an adjacent playground for the kiddos and easy access to Bryant Irving road! Great trail system too

★★★★★ — Michael , Aug 2023

We love the hell out of this trail. My dog loves playing in the water. There's not a lot of people on the trail people are courteous, and no one's bothering you.

★★★★★ — Yorvonne , Apr 2022

Always a nice walk. Picked up alot of single use plastic down embankment next to river. Do your part see what's around you be part of the solution not the pollution.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
