Confirmed from Lehigh 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 Lehigh Trail
“Beautiful to bike and enjoy the scenery and wildlife”
Nice flat and paved trail that is a little more than 3 miles in length. The city is constructing a pedestrian bridge that will link Bula Plantation park with Lehigh trail.
Very WIDE, well maintained bike/walking trail. Well defined trail head with facilities and reasonable parking. Approximately, 6.5 miles with 3 road crossings. 2 out of 3 are street lights equipped. Tire pumps have been spotted in 2 locations. Great.
In Palm Coast we are very lucky to have so many miles of bike/walking trails. This is paved all the way except for a small boardwalk. Great parking area and the one at Colbert has facilities.
Interesting bike trail wide blacktop with benches at intervals. I've seen deer, turkeys, wild boar, alligators and numerous reptiles and birds. Trail runs from Colbert to Route 1,

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceMixed — more than one surface along the route, so check the segment you plan to run
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
