Confirmed from Old Trolley Line Park'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.

“We walk our dogs here all the time!”

Nice park, lots of parking and walking trails. Nice ball fields. Well maintained and beautiful!

★★★★★ — Sheila , May 2021

Great place to watch a rugby match or a baseball game. Clean pavilion and usually pretty clean porta-potties. Also terrific place to walk your dog and everyone does a good job of cleaning up after their dogs so it's pleasant for all. This is a great park and a terrific 3rd space.

★★★★★ — Meg , Oct 2024

We walk our dogs here all the time! 🐕 Great trails, clean facility. Their adding more trails across the road in the conservancy, but it's also for hunting 🦌so check the sign for more info. 2 baseball ⚾️ fields, a playground, two Pavillion and a large open field. Also, access to the rail trail! 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️🐕

★★★★★ — Penn , Oct 2024

Mount Joy Township did a fantastic job building this park. Lots of parking. Lots of walking paths. Easy access to the Conewago Rail/Trail. From the parking lot, and following the walking paths, it's about half a mile to the trail. Baseball fields. Ga Ga ball pit. Several stations to ensure doggies are cleaned-up after.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
