Confirmed from Lebanon Rail-Trail - 25th Street 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 Lebanon Rail-Trail - 25th Street Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (34 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Recently opened portion of the Rail trail. At this time it runs from 25th street to long lane. The walk is about 1.75 miles, and 3.5 round trip. Portions of the path are paved but eventually turn into the fine gravel most are known for.

★★★★★ — Brad , Aug 2019

Lots of good shade and even a tunnel this is a fun and short trail. It's flat and easy so it's good for anyone. You can also walk to the Union Canal Park from it easily. There are two exits to the park that are marked. The one closest to the parking lot is easier and shorter.

★★★★★ — Craig , Jun 2021

Nice Little Parking Lot. No Porta Potty. Nice Trail... Turns to Gravel.

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.
