Confirmed from Berkshire Valley State Wildlife Management Area'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.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (6 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

There are a variety of trails and terrain. Some interesting features to discover include numerous old stone walls and some stone foundations and various antique junk including some automobiles.

★★★★★ — Steven , Jan 2022

Nice trail system to cover some distance and have nice elevation gains

★★★★★ — Trevor , Apr 2023

We traveled from LI for the nw jersey foliage and stayed in Mt Arlington where we discovered this park nearby. Pretty good workout. Adequate parking. Only met two women hiking on our hour long hike.

★★★★★ — Mack , Nov 2025
