Confirmed from Wolf River Greenway - Mud Island Section'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 Wolf River Greenway - Mud Island Section
“Always beautiful site and tranquil!”
“Great place to jog, although a bit funky smelling as the water goes down from flood levels.”
Latest addition to the Wolf River Greenway system! Stretches from the north end of Mud Island all the way to 2nd Street. Eventually, this end of the greenway will connect with the earlier sections in East Memphis and beyond. Great way to exercise and get out of the house.
Glad to see the expansion of the Wolf River Greenway. Its a nice little park now and will be 5 stars once it eventually connects to the remainder of the Greenway.
Took the trail along the Mississippi River and walked through Harbor Town. Absolutely beautiful.
One of our favorite walking trails to start our morning when working in the downtown precinity or Mud Island area. The pavement is smooth. There are many shady areas as well as sunny spots. It's filled with tons of trees and natural habitat. What we love the most is...
