Confirmed from Dr. David B. Shryock Memorial Hiking 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.

Absolutely gorgeous trail on protected land as part of the French Creek Valley Conservancy

★★★★★ — Christin , Feb 2024

Beautiful trail hidden alongside the cemetery. The trail is narrow in some places but absolutely stunning. Absolutely worth a visit and even exploring further up creek.

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.
