We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Black River Trail Hunt St yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

What runners say about Black River Trail Hunt St

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (15 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Had no idea this was even here. Visiting for a few weeks and was looking for a place to take the pooch for a long walk. Found this driving down rt 3. Great trails that follow the river.

★★★★★ — Rob , Aug 2023

This is what I live for, smooth walking and riding trails. Love the outdoor living. Meet a lot of nice people along the way. It cool in the summer along the Black river. Beauty and peace and love seeing the small animals there too.

★★★★★ — Steven , Apr 2021

We enjoy this trail. It is a well used walking and biking path. The trail goes to Black River, but doesn't loop so we usually just walk a mile in and back out. Parking is available, but no amenities.

★★★★☆ — Hoodie , Jul 2018

The part that goes into the woods, not along the river, runs behind private property and overlooks their garbage and unkempt land. I one unstance there is a dump that is visible.

★★★★☆ — Cheryl , May 2018
