Confirmed from Dale's Ridge 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 Dale's Ridge Trail
“A beautiful trail located just minutes outside of Lewisburg, the Dale’s Ridge Trail runs for over 2 miles along a lime bluff over looking the scenic farmlands along Buffalo Creek.”
“Path is clearly marked and is free and clear of obstacles.”
We came to hike the trail. We were blessed to see Bill Brobst sharing his historical knowledge of the property and were able to enjoy a tour.
Great place to walk. Very beautiful views from the hill. We saw a turtle on the path. A carefully made brochure with a route map and description can be taken at a stand in the parking lot.
This is a nice trail only minutes away from Lewisburg. It is a clearly marked and well-maintained trail. Depending on which way you go to get to the loop, the trail is fairly easy. If you start on the trail that goes along Buffalo Creek, there will be a short section with a steep incline up some switchbacks.

“We also didn't do the whole loop because of the heat & humidity and having a puppy along, but I'm sure it was as beautiful as the rest of what we saw.”
“Quiet at times, dog friendly, buggy in certain areas, but otherwise, a fun hike!”
“It's not very long, but the path was muddy and we didn't have the appropriate shoes or our hiking sticks.”
