We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Mt. Gretna Spur - Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Trail going through a landscape of wood and open farmland, with a creek running through it, and benches along the way.
What runners say about Mt. Gretna Spur - Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail
“It's a well maintained trail with nearby parking.”
“Beautiful main trail and keep your eyes out for some great single track side trails.”
Nice long Shady Trail but the roadway conditions on parts of the trail are below par compared to other trails that we've been riding these days
Benches along well-maintained path. Path is wide enough to accommodate bikes with pedestrians. Very nice.
When I need to reconnect with Mother Nature I go out on the Trail..Mountain bike for miles and take it all in yet while I/we still can..Our kids kids aint gonna be able to have this like it is now..Unless they save themselves from what everyone else seems to be welcoming..
This trail is the best place to tour on bike or dirt biking.These trails are beautiful,and u can get a nice workout in.Whether u walk,jog,or ride bike,I always find this place really good to be one with nature,and think,and just get away from the usual grind of life.
