Confirmed from Jamaica North Trailhead South'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.
Relaxed hiking and biking trail set along a former railroad line, with bridges, shelters and picnic tables.

Jamaica North Trail is another Jewel in our grails of trails. Yesterday I completed a GSV 360 phtotgraph survey of the entire trail from about 6 & G streets to Saltilo Road; where Homestead Trail begins, and Jamaica North Trail ends.
Well maintained trail. I hiked this trail and go in and out of Wilderness Park trails. You can do this all the way to Van Dorn Street. I did about 7 miles and it took me about 2 hours and 22 minutes.
Great afternoon on the trail. Saw and amazingly large cottonwood tree and two deer. It was about 4/4:30pm. Explored a little with my kids. Nothing like being outdoors.
Love this trail Stop in at Roca Tavern for a Beer! Great trail to just relax on . can't wait to be in Nebraska again!.
