Confirmed from Butler-Freeport Community Trail Sarver 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.
Kid-friendly hiking area with some reviews mentioning biking.

“There are mile markers telling you how far to Butler or Freeport you are.”
Very nice and well kept trail. Mostly first since it was once a railroad line. For the most part of not all of it you follow the creek and cross over it 7 times I believe. It's all crushed limestone so it's easy walking and easy on your dogs paws. Plenty of benches to sit and rest on.
One of the Best 20 mile Rails to Trails local to Pittsburgh area. Head north or south Start in Cabot and ride south to Freeport crushed gravel,restrooms,pack your snacks & drinks if you have time ride off the trail into Freeport for a look around neat town/Reminds me of Mayberry !!!
It's just an awesome Trail. Nothing fancy, just straight with a slight grade. Its clearly marked and did I mention that I ran 14 miles on it today? Which is a big deal for me.
Nice and flat trail. We did only a half of it, but really enjoyed the ride. And the coffee shop in the middle of the trail is awesome.
