Confirmed from Kettle Hole Trail, Nittany Mtn. Road'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 Kettle Hole Trail, Nittany Mtn. Road
The trail is cleared of face and leg slapping brush from Spruce Run Rd to the top at Nittany Mtn Rd. There are about 12 logs across that section of trail yet though. It is a nice, tough climb to the top.
Trail does not match trail as identified in alltrails app. First mile gains just under 900 ft elevation. Not well cleared trail. Great excersize.
