We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of LeTort Spring yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 LeTort Spring
One of the better places for duck/goose watching in the Letort Park section of the spring. There're sign saying no feeding, but lots of parents with kids do. There's also a 2 mile crushed stone trail along side the spring, good for biking, jogging, and hiking.
A nice little piece of nature not far from the 81. Enjoy the small walking trail, the plentiful geese/ducks and the playground that is currently being rebuilt. There's also a handball court, a small field for baseball/soccer games and bbq pits with benches.
Beautiful trail. Clearly a lot of hard work went into building and maintaining this trail.
