Confirmed from Montour Trail Access' 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.

“Just wish people would clean up after their dogs and not leave their waste in the trail”

Definitely a fun place to go ride bicycles. This is the entrance right off of Irish town and Logan road. They do have a porta potty there for any sanitary needs. There is a water fountain if you go down further about 2 mi on the left the intersection of Limestone Dr.

Beautiful trail. Just wish people would clean up after their dogs and not leave their waste in the trail

★★★★☆ — Ash , Jun 2019

This little access road connects Scott Lane to the Montour Trail at around mile 33.4. This is a real bonus for residents of the Quail Run community. It is rather steep and could use some maintenance towards the bottom.

★★★★☆ — Rpw74 , Sep 2020

A lot of different surfaces. Montour has onroad portions as well as nicely paved paths.

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.

🚰 Water fountains
