Confirmed from Red Clay Creek Trail'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 Red Clay Creek Trail
This is not a paved trail which is what we had hoped for. We road it with our Hybrid bikes any way. It was about 2.5 mi., but there was at least one branch or loop that we didn't explore. For walking or jogging this trail is great. We even came within 50 feet of a small deer in the middle of the day. How cool is that?
A great trail with scenery through Kennett Square. This is part of the Kennett Greenway or Red Clay Greenway. Once completed, the trail would be over 10 miles around Kennett Square and Township.
