We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Erie Lackawanna Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Erie Lackawanna Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (21 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

What's nice about most indiana bike paths is they are plowed after a snow.

★★★★☆ — David , Jan 2021

Great bike trail! I live 2 blocks away from the highland portion of the trail and I use it all the time.

★★★★★ — Christopher , Apr 2023
