Confirmed from The Trace'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 The Trace
A truly fantastic gem in a small town working earnestly to become an ideal destination. The walking and bike trail currently stretches about two miles along the reclaimed railroad that runs from the Old Depot and White House Cafe to Maul Road.
This is like a 10 minute walk from where my hubby and I live. In my opinion, this is a great place to enjoy time with a spouse and family at.
Nice new trail thru one of the more scenic natural areas in Camden. Drinking fountains along the trail with dog friendly features.
Would give it 5 stars if it had some kind of lighting... it got pretty dark on us walking back to our car

The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- LightingRunners report lights on the path — useful for pre-dawn and after-work miles. Lighting and opening hours are separate things, so check both.
