Confirmed from Great Allegheny Passage Conservancy'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 Great Allegheny Passage Conservancy

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (25 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Ran GAP Trail from Homestead toward Pittsburgh. Noticed evidence of beaver activity on the Monogahela River. See photo. Was unaware beavers were active in that area.
