Confirmed from High Mill 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 Mill Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (29 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

The Buckeye Trail breaks in 2 with the towpath going north to Canal Fulton and Akron and going east on High Mill Rd toward Nimisila Reservoir Campground about 8 miles away. Both trails lead to Mentor to form the Buckeye Little Loop, a ~259 mile trail.

★★★★★ — Henry , May 2021

Nice people at the bike shop and at canoe pick up. Kayaks are in decent condition there is a 6mile & 3mile trail & both pretty easy to canoe or kayak. As a result of this years weather there is a lot of fallen trees to maneuver around.

★★★★☆ — Michelle , Jul 2019

Beautiful quiet place to walk. You can choose the trail along the river or along the railroad tracks. More to see along the river.

★★★★★ — L. , Apr 2021

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.
