Confirmed from Cedar Hill Park Powerline 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.

🏃 great for running 2 mentions

“This is absolutely great place to walk, run, bike and to just take in the beauty of nature.”

Great trail! Paved and benches for when you desperately need a break. There are good hills and valleys and it ends in an area where you can get some lunch near by. Will definitely add this trail to my favorites. It was my 1st time and I only used 1 half of the trail and it was a great workout.

★★★★★ — Millie , Apr 2023

8 mile trail that has been well maintained and has tarmac surface the whole way. Good for walking, running, bikes, scooters, and even skateboards. Gentle rolling hills the whole way from Cedar Hill in North Wales to Lukens Park near Horsham/611. Great trail!

★★★★★ — Stephen , Sep 2025

Nice long paved trail. This is a smaller parking lot but there usually isn't that many people there. It connects to the bigger cedar hill park where there is more parking and bathrooms.

★★★★★ — Brian , Jun 2022

This is absolutely great place to walk, run, bike and to just take in the beauty of nature. Very relaxing if you just want to see and feel God's presence. Visit and see what you get from it!

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.
