Confirmed from Brown's Farm'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.
Popular park with an information center featuring miles of hiking trails and scenic views.
What runners say about Brown's Farm
“As someone who has enjoyed Brown's Farm for most of my life, I can say that it is a well-maintained place to enjoy nature with a great mission.”
“Beautiful place, but be sure to put on bug spray, tuck pants into socks and have tick protection on your dogs.”
“Beautiful foliage in the fall and a great walking or running trail that connects to Asbury woods.”
We love to hike here with our kids. Everyone is always friendly on the trails. Stay out of posted areas!!! Don’t be those people who ruin it for everyone.
This is a great public park, that is perfectly maintained. It has many hiking trails, and scenic views. There is a little information center, that also includes a map of the while area including Asbury Woods. It is also dog friendly, but keep your furry pal on there leash for everyone's enjoyment.
There's a lot more tree's down along the path, going down to the Stone Bridge. And why the next door neighbo'sr had to put up "No Trespassing" Sign's, and lines of wire going into the wood's, down to the Stone Bridge over Walnut Creek. Wow, my family member's and my wife and me, weren't expecting anything like that.
I had a great run here with my friend. It was still a a little wet trying to go in early March, but it was fun time nonetheless. I was able to walk into the creek to clean my muddy shoes! The trails were well maintained!
