Confirmed from Cedar Brook Rails 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.

🌳 shaded & cool 5 mentions

“There are lots of shaded parts, which is great on hot, summer days.”

This trail is flat, fine gravel, with some very steep sides in places. The pathway itself is fairly wide- but just be aware with kids and pets. It's more of a walking trail than a hike though you are surrounded by woods the entire time. I hope the city will work on repurposing the bridge at the end of the trail.

★★★★☆ — R , Jul 2024

Great place to clear your mind or go for a walk with a friend family or kids an animal's.

★★★★★ — Bruiser , Jul 2025

The bridge really needs to be made part of the trail. The trail itself is easy and makes for a good walk.

★★★★☆ — Salin , Sep 2024

This path is beautiful! There are lots of shaded parts, which is great on hot, summer days. Very thankful to have a spot like this in Lawrenceburg!

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.

“Right now it's fenced off and the trail wastes and loses what might otherwise be a very rewarding view at the far point.”
