Confirmed from Blydenburgh 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.

“Blydenburg park is a peaceful place to unwind and get away from your life.”

I hiked all the way around the pond and it was great. 6.2 miles (exactly 10K). Not a ton of elevation change. Beautiful views.

Beautiful. The entrance is unassuming, however once you take a path (designed for horses so watch the *poop* you can make your way towards the lake and enjoy watching over 30 swans and geese hanging out!

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.
