Confirmed from High Line Canal County Line Trailhead'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 High Line Canal County Line Trailhead
“I am so happy that I found this beautiful trail.”
I cycle all around the Metro/suburban bike trails. This one is a groomed dirt path for some of the way and paved a bit too. The trail is just another really nice loop.
Trailhead parking off County Line is south on South Park Lane between Santa Fe and Broadway. Look for South Park Lane as there is public parking and easy access.
Nice wide trail. Very accessible to my home. Beware of coyotes at dusk if you are walking your little dog.
Great trail for a covered walk. Bring some bug spray if you're hitting it in the evening!
