Confirmed from Watertown Park & Rec Department'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.
Public park offering a restroom and opportunities for fishing along the river.
What runners say about Watertown Park & Rec Department
“We enjoyed the walk, the information on all the places of history and could not have asked for a more beautiful day.”
Good place for fishing. We enjoy walking the trails along the river and watching the wildlife. Plenty of shade along the way and places to sit and rest.
Walked the peaceful board walk. The only thing wrong is it will need repairs because of the weather recently. Soaked the wood. I hope it continues.
We enjoyed the walk, the information on all the places of history and could not have asked for a more beautiful day. Thank you for doing this.
Nice walk between 2 bridges in downtown! Stop at Mullens and the Library along the way!!
