Confirmed from Crabtree Swamp walking 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 4 mentions

“Me and my wife came for a walk with our dog and the walk is beautiful and we had a great time, it's only a mile long but it was still good and our dog loved it”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“The walk is short but peaceful, with lots to see.”

I would recommend Crabtree Swamp walking trail if you don't have a lot of time and just want to clear your mind. The walk is short but peaceful, with lots to see. During a mild winter day it is a great place for a short walk, it would be nice if both sides of the canal were open though.

Took my kids to hike here, plenty of open space, trails and lots of wildlife to see but if you go in summer time make sure to bring mosquito spray its a swamp area so lots of bugs

★★★★☆ — Michael , Nov 2019

Poké stops and gyms here a great place to catch pokemon! Also the middle of the trail intercepts the abandoned railroad tracks. awesome views and peaceful vibes

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.
