Confirmed from Canal Feeder 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 5 mentions

“Very scenic and well maintained trail along the Great Miami River”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 9 mentions

“Overall, it's a peaceful, scenic trail that most would enjoy 😁”

Well i was going to bump the trail up another star⭐, however, I'm keeping it where it's at b/c of the way the trail ended. 😁 Although, having a porto-potty on the trail almost makes up for it. My grandsons and I would walk this trail until we hit Vandemark Rd then would turn around.

★★★★☆ — Christy , May 2023

This trail has a porta john along the trail which is convenient for longer walks. Very scenic and well maintained trail along the Great Miami River

★★★★★ — Susan , Dec 2020

Wonderful walking and biking path, surrounded by trees and river. Parking at the back of the cemetery, or just off of Vandemark Rd.

★★★★★ — Kendra , May 2018

Nice place for a quiet walk of bike ride. Be aware though there is a very steep hill.

★★★★☆ — Tony , Aug 2022

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.
