Confirmed from Trail's End Ocean City'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's End Ocean City

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

For those that may have been around in the 60's, this "trail" used to be the train tracks for the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Line (PRSL) that ran from 1933 to 1976. I rode this line many times from Philadelphia to Ocean City. Some of the tracks can still be seen along Haven Ave between 46th and 50th Street.

★★★★★ — Barry , Apr 2023

If you want to walk/jog in the area that’s not paved or sand, give it a try. Nice little piece of nature tucked away.
