Confirmed from Lehigh Trail 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.
Paved, shaded trail for walking, biking, and hiking, with benches and parking.
What runners say about Lehigh Trail Trailhead
“Trail is well maintained , however, some crude patching has been observed in leg 1.”
“It was a wonderful experience and had a beautiful tree canopy cover over a large amount of the trail.”

It’s always great to take a long walk on a new trail. Driving down 95 we needed a place to take a walk and stretch. We found this trail for a midday walk. We walked two miles west on the path and when back at our car I went another half a mile to make it a five mile walk.
This is a nice east west paved bike/walking trail. It is a rather short ride of 6.9 miles, but we took it from one end to the other and back, so it made for a nice ride. The only drawbacks to me are that you have 3 roads to cross.
I’ve lived in Palm Coast for 3 years and finally took the time to check this trail out. It’s so peaceful with a few road crossings if you go the entire length. My AllTrails app tracked 14 miles bikes in total. I went on New Years Day and passed quite a few people, but not as many as I expected for a holiday.
I love this trail it is completely paved for serious cycling, and nature is wonderful. Also very close to my house.
