Confirmed from Karl Stirner Arts 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.
Dog-friendly walking and biking trail alongside Bushkill Creek featuring scenic riverside views.
What runners say about Karl Stirner Arts Trail
“It’s beautiful and clean and well kept, and the connection from the Silk Mills to downtown Easton is perfect.”
“It’s beautiful and clean and well kept, and the connection from the Silk Mills to downtown Easton is perfect.”
“It’s pretty clean and overall peaceful despite being near route 22.”
Very clean and quiet. The total miles for round trips are about 3 miles. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in PA
A lovely art park in Easton! Yes, there's a roadway that runs next to the park, but it's really not that noisy. Flat and paved, the path is about 2 miles long. When you're done, you can easily walk to the town and do some shopping, or grab a bite to eat.
We visited the trail for the first time in a beautiful winter afternoon. It was unseasonably warm, so there were a lot of like-minded families out for some exercise. The meditation labyrinth and Qi gong exercise stations were pleasant surprises.
It was a beautiful trail walk. Only thing is we got lost at the end and followed signs but ended up in the city walking up long city hills then ended up going through a cemetery to find the trail again.
