Confirmed from Catskill Scenic 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 Catskill Scenic Trail
“This is the Catskill mtn scenic rail trail.”
“Perfect for running, mountain biking or the occasional walk.”
Great spot for a quicker gravel ride, 95% can be done with a cross bike. There are a few spots where the gravel and mud are bad enough to need a 40c tire for quicker, safer travel. Some nice things to see along the way.
This is the Catskill mtn scenic rail trail. Its is a great place to bike. Recommend hybrid or mtn bike as this trail is crushed stone, cinder, grassy in spots. Services are limited. It's beautiful area with many small bridges crossing the stream along the way.
Mostly decent for a stroll, running,biking or taking your horse for a ride follows right along the east branch of the delaware river . Their are parts of the trail you need to be careful on
Very nice trail well maintained cuts thro some amazing scenery you get to see behind private farms an old structures . Ride beside streams and cows on this old train line
