We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Coffin Woods yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

Beautiful place, trails and we brought our dog. Just have to make sure whatever garage you bring in to please take out with you.
Hey there! I found this amazing hidden gem in Locust Valley, Long Island. It’s super dog-friendly, with lots of great trails and a peaceful, quiet environment. There are even hidden ponds, trees, and nature all around. It’s a nice-sized preserve with plenty of parking.
Quiet, well maintained, multiple trails for relaxing, exercising and enjoying nature
Great place to go for a walk and look up at the trees. Very dog friendly.
