Confirmed from Becker Park'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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 5 mentions

“My favorite park, it's so nice and quiet, the birds are always singing nicely.”

Becker's Farm was formerly a large diary farm locally famous for the authentic small trains that carried folks from all over Jersey on a journey around the farm, passing pigs, chickens, and cows until heading into forest, pastures and streams.

★★★★★ — Eric , Aug 2015

Nice trail. You can cut through the woods at the end to McLellan drive.

★★★★★ — Jon , Apr 2019

Becker Park is perfect for a daily walk, especially if you have a dog. The small trail is just the right length for a quick and refreshing stroll. it's a great spot to unwind and enjoy some fresh air with your pet.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
