Confirmed from Lewes-Georgetown 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 Lewes-Georgetown Trail
Great biking/walking trail. Can't wait till finished. Needs more trailheads/parking areas
Lots of friendly people , beauty all over the trail , I'd say best time is from 7am -1100 , it's safe , and even has bike repair spots on the trail .
Love this trail! Get here early it gets crowded later. Lots of options to take breaks there is a mead place, bakery and brewery within the trail.
Very nice very straight flat well-maintained trail. Great for biking, walking running rollerblade.
