Confirmed from Fox Hollow 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.
Paved, shady trail, also sometimes raised like a boardwalk, for walking, running and dogs.
What runners say about Fox Hollow Trail
“A beautiful simple park with a trail and a nice bridge boardwalk.”
“It's mostly in the shade, quiet and peaceful.”

It's not the biggest, longest trail, but for my local neighborhood it'll do! Paoli needs more nice things such as this trail. Whoever is responsible for installing this trail, I'd just like to say "thank you".
We love this 2 mile trail. Paved and good for strollers but too steep at the north end for wheelchairs. It's mostly in the shade, quiet and peaceful. No bathrooms here.
About 2 miles if you walk end to end. All paved. Walk along private wooded property. Scenic. Ends at Devon Road. Parking on Valley Road is limited.
Cute little 1 mile path. Some of the path is raised like a boardwalk. Can't wait to go back in the spring and summer and see the wildlife!
