Confirmed from Chadwick Lake Park'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.
Lakeside, dog-friendly park with play equipment, plus a hiking trail and fishing.
What runners say about Chadwick Lake Park
“Well maintained cinder paths provide beautiful scenery and a break from having to watch for cars driven by people on their cellphones (not that anyone does that anymore!”

Nice park to bring the family to. There are trails, a children playground and areas to sit and do a BBQ. You can also rent boats, which are $15 a day for Newburgh residents and go fishing. The park is $20 per year for Newburgh residents and $40 for non-residents. Great park for dogs as well!
A beautiful walk, lake and park. The walking trail is very well marked, well maintained and informative, with markers telling the history of the lake as you go. It is like a piece of paradise in your backyard. Also has a playground, picnic tables, boat rentals and spots to go fishing.
Nice 2 hour walk around the lake today with fog included for extra effect. Park requires a membership badge to get in, can't remember the price but you can get one at the front office. Park closes at sundown (4:30)
First time here after reviewing it on AllTrails. Was aware of the fee, but didn’t realize I was on the outskirt of the town and had to fork over $40. For the well-maintained park, and beautiful trails w/ frequent rest area (perfect for my senior 10 yr old dog), it’s a good deal. Gives you the feeling of membership.
