Confirmed from Harmony 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.

A beautiful and easy loop trail, that is great for all ages. The wild leeks are amazing to see in late July through early August.

We were looking for a short but shaded hike to walk our dog on the way back from Chillicothe to Cincinnati and found this great little trail in Paint Creek State Park. It is a little under a mile including the walk from the parking lot. It was entirely shaded meandering through a narrow gorge with large trees.

★★★★★ — Mike , Jul 2024

Short trail about half mile. The first half of it takes you near the creek which is beautiful then the last half is wooded but still great scenery. Dog friendly.

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.
