Confirmed from Bike and Hike Trail - Silver Springs Lot Trailhead'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.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“That’s very diverse and extremely long well maintained and a true gem.”

Few road crossings. One big hill near Brandywine Falls. Nice place to ride, hike, jog.

★★★★★ — Alan , May 2022

The Bike and Hike Trail is it nice Trail it is blacktop the whole way. The trail is not very wide so if there's a lot of traffic it will be difficult for bikers and walkers to share the trail. it is a nice long trail runs for almost 16 miles I think.

★★★★☆ — John , Jul 2018

This is a very nice part of the home and bike trails which go all the way through the area. It's shady, with plenty of breezes to keep you cooler while you walk or bike. Dogs are welcome and there's grass on both sides of the trail. There's enough room to get out of the way when a faster group moves past.

★★★★★ — Michelle , Apr 2019

Bike, hike, stroll, saunter, scurry or skedaddle - the trail connects to many amazing places! Hope you run into a stick bug like I did.

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.
