Confirmed from Canarsie Bike Walk'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 Canarsie Bike Walk
Beautiful, 8 1/2 mile trail located along the southern side of the Belt Parkway, extending from just off of Cross Bay Boulevard in Queens, to Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. Bikers, runners, and walkers enjoy this scenic route. Pass by both parts of Shirley Chisolm State Park.
Plan your run at Canarsie Bike Walk
The practical stuff
- AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
- DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
