Confirmed from Bradys Pond Trail'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.

What runners say about Bradys Pond Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (27 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Beautiful lake with great bass fishing and tons of land to hunt for any type of game you wish.”

Brady's Lake is one of Monroe County's most underutilized lake areas. Most days you can enjoy the lake almost by yourself, even in the middle of a sunny summer Saturday. About 2 miles long and pretty narrow, it is an easy after work paddle.

★★★★★ — Alan , Oct 2016

It's a long 3 mile road from Rt 940 to get to the lake, but it is a beautiful lake. There are trails around the lake. The part I was on was an easy walk.

★★★★☆ — Nancy , Aug 2016

There is a place to put your boat in and a nice trail for walking. Start the trail by crossing the dam.

★★★★★ — Darren , Aug 2018

Beautiful place in the Poconos. Can be quite crowded from late Spring into Fall, but nice trails and decent birding.

★★★★☆ — David , Mar 2022

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.
