Confirmed from Lackawanna River Heritage Trail - Boulevard Ave. Trailhead'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 Lackawanna River Heritage Trail - Boulevard Ave. Trailhead
Short section of the trail, but paved and great for strollers. Saw quite a few fishermen out, and even a cottontailed rabbit scurry past is on the trail. The old bridges were an interesting sight!
Great section of trail for bike riding, but hard to find when the previous section ends at Seminski park. Need a sign by the bridge saying to continue down boulevard Ave. to this section.
Great trail. 90% paved. Some off street and connections are hard to find but worth it when you can
