Confirmed from Claysville National Pike 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.
What runners say about Claysville National Pike Trail
“Was beautiful in fall with the foliage and lots of wildflowers in summer.”
Great community trail. Mix of sun and shade and two awesome tunnels. Flashlights and\or headlamps recommended for first tunnel due to a dogleg.
Nice flat trail that goes out and back. There are some stairs at the beginning. Was beautiful in fall with the foliage and lots of wildflowers in summer. May want to bring a flashlight for in the tunnels, but you can still go through without.
Very nice fall walk. Old railway converted to hiking trail. Combination gras and gravel. Fun going through the tunnels. Recommend a good flashlight, but our phone flashlights worked ok.
We did a 5k on National Pike weekend! It was beautiful! A lot of people have worked very hard to make this trail! I will definitely be back!
