January 26, 2021August 21, 2020Nice jogging trail for all skill levels. Stroller friendly. Trail closed at sand run road so round trip is 5 miles instead if 6
August 10, 2020The parkway is a good option if you’re looking for an easy trail. Being that it is mainly a cinder path that is very wide, it’s pretty popular with runners, so expect it to be busy. Unfortunately a large section of the trail and road are closed right now.
July 26, 2020This is a six mile trail (3 each way). Parking at Revere and Sand Run or at portage path. This is the trail that runs next to the road and through sand run park. Beautiful! Great for jogging and walking. No bikes allowed. The description needs to be updated. Not sure why it’s saying 1.2.
May 20, 2019Great spot for runners or walkers looking to cover distance. 1/2 of the trail has multiple park green spaces you can stop at. Great on nice weekend to see lots of people out and about get their steps in! If you are less of a runner and more of a hiker, you can go to the other side of the street if you start on the north portage path side. There they have some good hiking trails with good elevation changes, you have to ford a tiny creek, and you get some decent views. There are old trails that don’t look to be in action anymore that you can go explore if you are the adventurous type!
March 13, 2019All along the road. Good for spring when all other trails are muddy, this was flat and dry
December 14, 2018August 24, 2017I love the trail, disliked all the broken glass laying around while taking my dog. Pretty place and good location, needs picked up a little.
June 20, 20154 mile trail run. Nice soft rain coming down so trail was wet but very manageable.
August 21, 2014This trail was very clean. Most of the running path was crushed limestone. Many washed out areas from rain but were filled in. Very hilly! Nice peaceful run with friendly people around as well.
May 30, 2013This gets a 4 because it is a very straight and easy trail with marked mileage. I prefer More nature and sites, but this place is very well maintained and is worth the visit.

First to ReviewThis is a great trail for those who do not want to walk or run over stones, tree roots or get wet crossing water. It has mile marked on it so you do not have to walk the 6 miles. You can walk to the first mile marker and back for 2 miles or to the 1.5 mile marker and back for 3 miles. You get the idea It is three miles one way. It is not a loop Today the path was snow, ice, slush and bare in spots but I counted closed to two dozen walkers/runners.
