We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Great Ledge 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 Great Ledge
“Beautiful colors and easy walk albeit and little rocky.”
“Beautiful colors and easy walk albeit and little rocky.”
Park at the small parking lot in Dayton. The entrance to the trail is across the road. Follow the white trail for a mile to the ledge.
I used to take hikes into their and there's several ledges in cliffs in there if you wander around be very very careful I mean so you don't fall off a cliff I used to go there as a teenager now I'm a senior I want to still go there again if I can get my friends to go I don't like to go there by myself in case…
Went in Oct. Beautiful colors and easy walk albeit and little rocky. Great views of reservoir.
This is an amazingly well posted detailed upkeep of white/yellow trail markers along the hiking trails; along with titled markers to with the pinchbeck trail and, the Great ledge Gerry’s trail marker to the left which leads to the south west corner of the Great Ledge!!! Enjoy 😉 💝💞❤️
Trail conditions & character
“View of mostly blocked by the foliage and the sounds of cars and lawn equipment permeates the air during the day, so not exactly peaceful but somewhat pretty”
