Confirmed from Ohio to Erie Trail, Harvard Ave Trailhead'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.

Nice trail but parking lot is small. Oh well there's many other ways to access towpath. Saw 2 bald eagle's. And 1 in flight. Majestic!!
