Confirmed from Browns Run Rail-to-Trails' 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.
What runners say about Browns Run Rail-to-Trails
“Nice peaceful walk the trail is not to long”
This trail is a popular place to walk dogs, jog and bike. It is wide and flat, so it's easy. There are many trees along both sides to provide shade on hot summer days. It has several bridges that cross over a running creek. A playground is available for a picnic or family fun. There are several entry areas.
A beautiful walking trail. The kids love the playground that was added about a half mile down the trail (and the little lending library that is there).
Awesome Trail.. many nice improvements over the years .. would like to see a few exercise stations .. sit ups .. pull ups .. in the future.
Great 4 mile trail walk. Great for a casula bike or even a run. Especially with thw addition.
