Confirmed from Wolf River Nature Area (East)'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.
Green space for walking and jogging through woods and along the Wolf River.

“Gorgeous walking trail and the nicest, cleanest public bathroom I've been in for a long time!”

With the newest section to the south, this trail starts at Work River Blvd and Farmington and goes all the way to the Greenline. Very nice easy ride that's mostly shaded.
Beautiful trail, of you kookiness for a place to jog or ride your bake? This is the place. The River it’s perfect for any activities. It’s has a little beach area for your kids to play.
Beautiful, mostly shaded paved trails for walking, biking, jogging, or inline skates. Some additional dirt trails for deeper nature hikes. I can go from here to Cameron Brown Park or connect all the way to Shelby Farms!! With a Chick fill a in between!!
Good, shaded trails connect to Cameron Brown park and follow the Wild River. Good for an easy walk or bike with the family. The trail is paved, but there are undeveloped trails in the woods that branch off the main trail.
