Confirmed from Arrowhead Trail'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 11 mentions

“It's gorgeous, well kept, paved, and there are plenty of Pokemon Go pokestops and gyms (in case you play Pokemon Go).”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Nice calm trail, good view off farm specially the horses.”

Beautiful and peaceful trail. Nicely paved path through the woods. Great for strolling your young ones or walking your furry four leggers. I think it's a great place to clear your head. I always feel better after a walk there.

★★★★★ — Carrie , Aug 2018

One of the area's great assets , The Montour Trail and the Arrowhead Trail wind seamlessly through the country side. Affording many beautiful views and a relatively flat landscape, it's relatively easy to log many miles.

★★★★★ — Mark , Jul 2024

Get your ya-ya's out here. Great trail system for biking, roller blading, running or just a healthy, brisk walk. Good scenery and fresh air abound! Get out there and ENJOY this wonderful trail system!

★★★★★ — James , Jun 2017

An abssolutely pleasurable, not to mention beautiful, walk through the woods, but on a small, paved roadway. Just on the other side of tge tree line from civilization.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
