Confirmed from Harvey Run 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“First time trying the trails - beautiful out here, just ignore the huge power lines.”

Mostly open meadow trail, good for sunny, cool days. Three access points for parking. Connects to Brandywine Museum and the River Trail.

★★★★☆ — Christine , Sep 2020

Great place with open meadows for walking on natural grass surface through the powerline cuts. Both Baltimore and Orchard Orioles nest here, something to certainly look out for when walking through here.

★★★★★ — Ethan , Jan 2024

Beautiful walk through pastors, over bridges and through the woods. Bring water proof boots winter and wet days. #HAZELANDASHORGANICS

★★★★☆ — Brian , Jan 2021

First time trying the trails - beautiful out here, just ignore the huge power lines. There’s some minor construction going on so I’m not sure where you’re SUPPOSED to park, but the parking lot behind the post office across the street is pretty big.

★★★★☆ — Myles , Sep 2025
