    Beautiful trail!

    The trail is just under 7 miles with the majority of it along the river. There are some short off-shoots into the woods that can be fun to explore. The river has many access points and several sandy banks that are perfect to relax on. You'll usually be able to see herons or other large birds.

    The trail has multiple entrances (Veteran's Park, Tharrington Park, Lowry Park, behind Big Lots, behind Roses, and Riverside Park to name some). These entrances generally have a restroom, picnic tables, and some have ball fields. Some of the trail is wooded, some of the trail is surrounded by open spaces. The bikers, as far as I've experienced, are great about announcing their presence with time to react (but it never hurts to stay to the right just in case!).

    The entrance behind Roses also has the Rotary Pup Dog Park as well.

    Great walking trail

    Well-maintained, paved, and wide trail. Usually see a lot of other dog walkers and bikers. A few folks fishing and swimming. Be careful if you get in the water- there is a lot of glass. Also be wary of bikers- it’s easy to “clothes line” them with a long leash if you don’t see them coming!
