Confirmed from Bronx River 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 Bronx River Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

This is a nice place to walk and be with the family specially in the summer the bad thing is there are many feral poor cats struggling to survive because some people go to this place and abandon them that is not fear let's protect them please

★★★★☆ — Gerardo , Feb 2021

It's amazing I lived in the Bronx for 43 years I've been to like four different countries I've been like 12 different states and I never knew that this was 2 miles from where I grew up
