Confirmed from White River State Trail 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.
Peaceful, kid-friendly area with trails for hiking, walking, and biking.

Great relaxing bike trail with an ice cream shop on the trail ( PEDAL AND CUP).
Fantastic family friendly walking or running trail and great with a stroller as well. It's just under 12 miles long if you're looking for a major hike or run on easy terrain. There is a 5$ fee if you don't have an annual pass, you can pay cash at the locked box by the little parking lot.
