Confirmed from End of Lancaster Junction Rail 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 End of Lancaster Junction Rail Trail
Nice walking trail outside of Manheim. The path is gravel and fairly flat. It follows a creek for a little while, but mostly just farms or woods on either side.
Fabulous trail to run or walk. I just love it, It has a very slight incline and the scenery is beautiful.
