Confirmed from Lebanon Valley Rail 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 hiking area with a wide trail that's good for quick walks.
What runners say about Lebanon Valley Rail Trail
“Very friendly area, clean, and well maintained 👍”
“Beautiful woods and I ended at a bridge that was picturesque.”
There was plenty of parking, about 7 spaces on one side and much larger area on the other. The trail was very wide. We enjoyed geocaching and hiking here.
Great trail for a quick walk with my pup and my honey! Very friendly area, clean, and well maintained 👍
A short walk but a beautiful one. I appreciate having such a nice trail in town for everyone to enjoy.
A Short walk but certainly a nice quick getaway walking through the trees, and over a narrow bridge. Natural water flowing is always relaxing so if you only have a little bit of time, 30 minutes to an hour, it's worthwhile if you're in the jonestown area.
