Confirmed from West Papio Trail'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 West Papio Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (3 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Some people hate that I ride a dirt bike on this trail but I hate that they walk on it. The poors am I right... *laughs in rich

★★★★★ — Eric , Sep 2024

Great trail to run/bike. It covers many miles of Omaha so you can get to many places from one single trail.

★★★★★ — Austin , Apr 2023

This path is great for riding a bike, walking a dog, and jogging. The path goes on for many miles.

★★★★☆ — Jackattack , Mar 2025
