Confirmed from Trail of Honor Trailhead'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 Trail of Honor Trailhead
“Very nice, wide paved trail, great views!”
“I like the nice calm and peaceful scenery .”
It's so beautiful out there. Nice place to hike, fishing and honor the soldiers. I wish the trail goes around it. It is kind of half way done, but ends up to the lake, which is kind of nice.
Paved the whole way. Maybe one decent size hill. Good for beginners, and those unable to do harder hikes
Scenic trail, good for short walks. Fully paved, good for Mom’s with stroller. So beautiful during fall. Cons: It is next to cemetery and doesn’t loop around
Great trail to walk or bike ride. Very scenic. A bit too short though. I took a lot of good photos, which I'll upload a bit later.
