Confirmed from Ironton 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 Ironton Rail Trail
Great trail. Good for biking and walking. The loop is about 5.5 miles and there is an off shoot that can add 8 miles if you ride down it and back.
Beautiful scenery, mostly a quiet place to walk, at least between Coplay and Northampton.
