Confirmed from Keystone 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 Keystone Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (30 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏃 great for running 2 mentions

“Perfect for a walk, run, or bike ride, either solo or with family/friends.”

This walking trail / bike trail is well maintained. I didn't experience a lot of uneven pavement to cause trip hazards. There is plenty of nature to see as you walk along the trail. This particular trail can be travel on for your nature walks and offer miles of trail.

★★★★☆ — Bigcheeseboss , May 2022

Pretty well maintained, and wide enough for many people to use at the same time. Some great views and interesting scenery either North or South, and connects to other trails if you need to go to other parts of Omaha/Ralston/Bellevue. Perfect for a walk, run, or bike ride, either solo or with family/friends.

★★★★★ — Ray , Jul 2020

I run here every day and park at the softball field. Nice 1.5-2 mile long trail one way Feels very safe to run in and the stream is a nice natural touch.

★★★★★ — Nicholas , Aug 2023

Nice and mostly flat. Great access to popular roads in case you need to get off the trail for a snack or something

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

➖ Flat & fast 2 mentions

“Easy, flat trail with new additions every year.”
