Confirmed from Hilltop Walking Path Park'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 Hilltop Walking Path Park
This walking path is about 2.2 miles down from the parking lot and back up. It took a us about 55 minutes round trip. It’s a zig zag trail mostly gravel with a stretch of blacktop in the middle. It’s a good light work out for your legs on the way back up. The walking path is mostly flat without ruts or boulders.
Lovely little walking path. The grade is slight enough so that it's not unpleasant. We enjoyed all the singing meadow birds.
Not a bad little trail but it has absolutely no shade. Path is paved and gravel the whole way.
Very nice walking path and small park located in a higher-end community. Very safe, very calm relaxed feeling up there. Most main area is on top of a large PA hill with a nice view. Trail itself winds slightly up or down.
