Confirmed from Limestone Creek Greenway 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 Limestone Creek Greenway Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

A quiet trail by a stream. It's well hidden and does not feel like it's in a village. Be prepared for bugs if you go near the creek at sunset.

★★★★★ — Jesse , Sep 2023

A fairly extensive trail that follows limestone Creek through the Manlius area Makes a great place for an afternoon walk or a stroll with the dog

★★★★☆ — Kyle , Jan 2018

Great place to take kids during the summer. Careful of the trail behind the wooden fence. There's a lot of poison ivy.

★★★★☆ — Jl , May 2019

It was a nice walk in a quieter park. Can't wait to see the difference once the foliage comes back.

★★★★★ — Elwyn , Apr 2019

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
