Confirmed from Benedict Farm 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.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“It was well maintained, large pavilion to eat, fenced in play ground and decent bathrooms.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 7 mentions

“Plenty of picnic tables under the pavilion and beautiful River winding by.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Nice peaceful park with picnic tables next to Wallkill River.”

We've been coming here for the past several weekends for our son's rec soccer seasonal tournament. It's clean and it's beautiful. The park hosts many events but parking is somewhat limited, especially for large events like multi-game soccer schedules.

★★★★★ — Chris , Oct 2022

Such a peaceful park. River views and kids park, walking trails, dog friendly.

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.
