Confirmed from West Branch Rocky River Greenway (Abersham Loop Entrance)'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.

“Beautiful place to walk, flat in some parts, slight hills in others.”

Nice walking paths, most of the paths are people only (no vehicles), but there are a couple of loops that require sharing the road. But all of the trails can be vehicle-free if you do them out-in-back. All of the paths are paved and easily accessible. The path along the creek is flat and a very pleasant walk.

★★★★★ — Chip , Oct 2020

Beautiful and fairly well kept. Has a variety of biking, hiking, and paved trails. Bring water, and no bathrooms

★★★★★ — Lucas , Aug 2021

Beautiful place to walk, flat in some parts, slight hills in others. Great place to take your dog for a walk.

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.
