Confirmed from Tonawanda Rails to Trails Trailhead (Kenmore-to-Englewood)'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.

“It is a beautiful walk from start to finish starting in Buffalo all the way up to the City of Tonawanda!”

It is a beautiful walk from start to finish starting in Buffalo all the way up to the City of Tonawanda! It could definitely use the occasional restroom for those of us that like to take our longer travels. However it is a very beautiful scenic walk and you can do some bird watching! The Cardinals love the trail!

My uncles bike was stolen at the Speedway on Kenmore ave. Where everyone stops on the trail. BE CAREFUL! Otherwise its a beautiful peaceful path. I love taking my son for bike rides down the path

★★★★☆ — Kristen , Aug 2021

Boomer here - Nice easy flat walking and bicycling. Many easy entrances along way.

★★★★★ — Mike , Jul 2023

There should be notification that the path leads right to the rapid transit

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.
