We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Nine Mile Creek Erie Canal Water 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.

What runners say about Nine Mile Creek Erie Canal Water Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

A nice and small entrance to the nine mile creek! After walking through the magnificent green scenery, there is a narrow pathway that slopes down toward the canal. It's nicely shaded and didn't have any issues with fishing. Caught a nice 14in trout!

★★★★☆ — Sean , Jun 2025

This walk is down the street from a relative so I got some walking in during my visit here instead of along the lake or at Beaver park. I went in the evening, the park was quite and peaceful. Enjoyed watching the swallows dive into the pond for bugs.
