Confirmed from Crawbuckie Park and Nature Preserve'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 Crawbuckie Park and Nature Preserve
Definitely a hidden gem for sure. Took my dog (not much out there on the internet about this place, but I did see in one post dogs were allowed on-leash. Yes, keep them ON leash, you are right next to the train tracks and we heard 3 pass while we were walking.) In 75° on a Saturday I expected this place to be packed.
Beautiful, hidden oasis in Ossining - easy hike for those not really into hiking but enjoy nature, and lovely river views.
The trail isn't too steep but if you're older or have a spinal injury like me that limits you it's probably better to skip this one as there aren't any places along the trail to stop or take a break. Certainly no benches or seating except for one at the trailhead.
