Confirmed from Pomeroy Trail - Pump Station'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.

“This trail is so beautiful.”

This trail is so beautiful. Gets a little crowed sometimes but o highly recommend. Sometime you can see the bald eagles hanging out in the treetops if you look carefully. One of my favorite trails to walk.

★★★★★ — April , Sep 2020

This is a beautiful walk. You walk along the creek by the falls and over a beautiful footbridge. One of my favorite walks. About a two and a half mile walk and flat the whole way. Good for kids or adults

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.
