Confirmed from Cannon Trail North 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.

What runners say about Cannon Trail North Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (2 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is considered the main starting point for the Cannon Township Trail which is also where the township hall sits. There is also ample parking. It is approximately 3.3 miles from here to connect to Townsend Park and approximately 2.5 miles to connect to downtown Cannonsburg.

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.

🛣️ Paved surface

“The trail is paved and is mostly through the woods with a handful of scenic spots.”
