Confirmed from Miami Erie Canal 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 Miami Erie Canal Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (20 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I love the extension to the trail and it is a great place to get some fresh air and exercise now with Covid around. There is plenty of room for traffic going both ways and most dogs have been well behaved (trained) and the owners have been respectful of my service cats as well as our safety when passing each other.
