Confirmed from Montour Trail (Triphammer to Piney Fork)'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 Montour Trail (Triphammer to Piney Fork)
“well maintained, beautiful, and scenic walking/biking spot.”
Great for leisurely walks. Close to the city but get the country atmosphere
A very good place for birding if you are looking for woodland species. All of the expected species were here, most in good numbers. Also, four-year-old Hanna had a ball running, exploring, and throwing rocks into the creek.
The trail is nice. The creek is a bit polluted with garbage which takes away from the experience. There is a sewer treatment plant in a section of the trial which also takes away from it. Overall it is nice though.
love the trail. well maintained, beautiful, and scenic walking/biking spot. relatively level terrain makes it accessible to most people.
