Confirmed from Crawford Walking 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.
Park featuring paved walking trails and a gazebo, suitable for families.

“Being an easy trail, there are more chances to bump into people.”
Paved path with a couple different “trails” you can take. They have an “easier” and “more difficult” path (that’s how they label them haha). Both are doable for any skill level, pretty easy. Wheelchair friendly and accessible. Plenty of parking, with a parking lot at both ends of the trail. Other entrance is on Rt 17.
Rather small but tranquil and well maintained walking paths for those looking for a little peace and quiet. Two paths to choose from including a shorter but much hillier path which takes you to a charming gazebo with decent views. The longer but more flatter path are better served for those with mobility issues.
A trip to the trail helps bring a sense of relaxation. The Crawford Walking Trail is an easy path for those who are new to outdoor hiking. Being an easy trail, there are more chances to bump into people. Yet, if you enjoy less traffic, then it would be better to find another trail.
It’s an easy, beautiful and tranquil trail. The woods are dark and deep. The roads are neat and newly laid. Vast meadows are hill views add to the peaceful vibes. Loved it. The view from the gazebo is breathtaking.
