Confirmed from Delaware Preservation Parks - Ohio to Erie 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 Delaware Preservation Parks - Ohio to Erie Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (8 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Very shady in Sunbury and soon will be able to go from Sunbury into Galena since workers are connecting trails. I am very sad some of the people in Sunbury do not follow rules. A yellow tape has been put across the end of this trail to keep people safe and off dirt and cinders as they prepare to blacktop.

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.
