Confirmed from Hannon Levee 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 Hannon Levee Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (6 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

A newly opened trail. It has an unusual asset - an app created to enhance the hiking experience. Look for wildflowers underfoot, birds overhead and a fresh experience every time.

★★★★★ — Teresa , Dec 2017

This trail is off the beaten path and is worth the walk. Keep walking along the side of the golf course, and you'll find a wonderful looped trail (~2miles)! It is a great place to be in the company of nature. ❤️🌳🌿 Visited 2/13/26.

I walked the 2 mile levee loop. There is another trail you can walk that isn't a loop.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
