Spoke like a CCNA friend.
Why not ping it, don't care if it replies, then do show ip arp...
You forgot many things that can pass packets don't reply to pings...
Here is what I would do.
Turn on ip accounting and then destination network in the static route
sourced from another interface; show ip accounting
Check if cef has moved any data in that direction to than next hop-
For that I take you again to ioshints by ivan pepljak

LOL, I was thinking the same thing Patrick. And then I thought, "now how
cool would this be if this were a voice shop!?" You might make it all the
way down to a single default route out to the internet before you hear from
one single unhappy customer! ;~)

The old fashioned way - remove it and wait for the phone to ring :)
At the very least, ping the next hop used by the static, if it doesn't
respond you can safely assume that no traffic using that static route
is going anywhere.
