Confirmed from Heritage Rail 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 Heritage Rail trail
This trail is 5 miles from my appartment, it is only 7 miles long, all flat surface, a great country ride, there are paved blacktop sidewalks along this trail, take them, find out where they go. I saw 2 rangers in a white pickup truck. Very friendly, in like how they watch all the walkers, runners, bikers.
long and straight, keep a eye out for bikers, the north section of trail can get a bit of cross wind, but highly recommend to everyone. Extremely flat.
Good safe parking lot and nice flat trail. Mostly shaded. Nice for a morning ride or walk.
