Confirmed from West Trailhead of Jim Mayer Riverswalk 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.
What runners say about West Trailhead of Jim Mayer Riverswalk Trail
“Clean, good trail, and wonderfully isolated so no traffic sounds to spoil the river, insect, and bird ambience”
“Beautiful and peaceful place to stroll in with the ones you love”

Good for walking, running, biking... Last winter I saw cross country ski tracks. Trail is fine gravel, sides get mowed, no tall weeds, hence no worries about ticks. Beautiful scenery. I saw a woodchuck last summer.
Well Kept trail. Nice walk. Saw some other people walking dogs & a bike rider. I was with my dog & husband. Wouldn't want to walk the Moxham end of the trail alone, rough neighborhood
Oh theres two entries for this place. Well its like i said about the other side, great trail, awesome millipedes that look like roboworms
Nice trail too run on or walk you dog. The people that use the trail are all friendly and will say hi too you well kept clean trail.
