Confirmed from West Papio Trail Giles Avenue 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.
Area featuring a wide, smooth trail for hiking, biking, and skateboarding.
What runners say about West Papio Trail Giles Avenue Trailhead
Love the trails. Omaha isn't a bike friendly city meaning not many bike lanes on the streets, so the trails is where I go when I want to ride.
Nice wide path. Beautiful scenery, especially this time of year. Trail goes on forever so you have a serious workout or a nice leisurely walk. I am a skateboarder so a side note. Path is very smooth.
