Confirmed from Hurleyville 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.
Popular paved hiking and biking trail featuring benches and educational signage.
What runners say about Hurleyville Rail Trail
“It's pretty well kept and all the people who walk it have always been friendly.”
“Very beautiful scenery, rented bikes from Fortress Bikes which is right down the street and it took about 1.”
“It’s family-friendly too, which made it a great choice for us.”
“Dog friendly, great way to spend the day outdoors.”
Very nicely paved trail. Beautiful scenery. Would recommend more for walking as it is not to long. I biked it in 15 minutes.
This is a really great walking trail, easy especially if you want to bring kids and dog with you.
Where else can you find such a unique flower the ghost plant!!! I've only seen these in one other location. Great trail lots of interesting plants, flowers and mushrooms 🍄 😀 👍
Enjoyed very much. Raised many questions about construction of original track. Took comfort in rail trails being easily converted back to rail use. Area still has many dairiy farms. Says there are beavers. Believe I IDed one lodge. River otters on iNaturalist. Would certainly return for cycling (via bike).
