Confirmed from Blauvelt State 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.
Undeveloped park consisting of 590 acres of forest with hiking trails providing access.

Entered from greenwood and 303 parking lot. Fits may 6-7 cars. The first part of path is paved but turns to dirt shortly after. The walking path gets narrow and seems passable in some places and path on map stops lol. There is a bike path there that I took and it seems to be maintained better than the walking path.
Beautiful day. Went here for a hike and met some really cool artist painting along the way. Nice place to appreciate some good art.
