Confirmed from Simon Kenton Trail Urbana'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 Simon Kenton Trail Urbana
“As truck driver it’s always nice to find a well maintained and scenic path to venture down.”
“Start at State Route 55 parking lot and head south through a mile of shaded area.”
Very long stretch of bike trail! Not much people-traffic. It's good for a long, quite walk in the country. It only gets 4 stars because there isn't a restroom at the parking lot.
Love the trail for walking. Start at State Route 55 parking lot and head south through a mile of shaded area. Common in morning to see an occasional rabbit or chipmunk. In fall I see deer crossing the path.

Well maintained bike/walking trail that passes by some interesting places.
