Confirmed from Bergen County Campgaw Mountain Reservation'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

A tiny downhill ski area with a rental shop is the main draw in this park also offering hiking.

“Good place to go for a leisurely hike, the route we took was just over 5k and very quiet.”

Good place to go for a leisurely hike, the route we took was just over 5k and very quiet. You can ski there too if that’s your thing

★★★★★ — Scott , Feb 2023

Good Place for a hike in the summer with many trails for beginners and pros. It's really good for skiing in the winter too. But don't try to camp here. The huts are all fallen apart and the highway is loud

★★★★★ — Rickolas , Jul 2018

Wonderful course with A LOT of elevation. Make sure to wear proper footwear for hiking!

★★★★★ — Kat , Sep 2019

Great disc golf course filled with challenging holes with rigorous climbing up, down, and across the mountain. If they would only cut the grass !!!! Maybe they never cut it?? I've only been there this year. The grass is high on holes 13, 15, 16, 17, and especially 18 down the main slope of the MTN.

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.
