Confirmed from Ohio Canal Greenway'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 Ohio Canal Greenway
“Lovely, peaceful trail nearly 3 miles long, with a beautiful covered bridge!”
“Quiet little park which leads into the cabal path which has some concrete walkway for wheelchair access.”
•The highlight of Hebron trails is a genuine wooden truss covered bridge built in 1992. Visitors may park in the Hebron State Fish Hatchery visitor area or at Canal Park for access to the trail.
The trail is 3 miles one way. You can start at Canal Park in Hebron or from SR 79 ( Walnut Street). There is a small parking area at the trailhead on SR 79 (Walnut Street). It big enough for only a couple of vehicles. The trail is well maintained and has access points along the trail.

We hiked a mile out and back. A straight, level trail. Not a lot to see here.
