Confirmed from Diamond Brook 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.

Scenic

Tranquil spot to hike or run the dog, with a trail winding through woods.

“Beautiful destination for a hike on a trail through nature.”

The entrance at the end of West Main Street—no need to cross train tracks, despite what others claim—delivers you straight into leaf-loam and shade. The trail is narrow. Not for play, but for pause.

I love this park. It is small and hard to find but has a nice little trail. Also my friend Doug tried to kiss me here. That was wackadoo. You have to cross train tracks to get here. It's sort of odd. Just like Doug.

★★★★★ — Lucas , Nov 2020

what a fun quaint trail. you gotta park on the street and cross train tracks. there are a few paved downhill trails leading from the side of the tracks across from the road so just walk along the side until you see one or choose a spot to descend on your own.

★★★★★ — D , Sep 2022

Beautiful destination for a hike on a trail through nature. Easy ride on bicycle great opportunity to live through nature bring your pets for an enjoyable trip through Glen Rock history. Earth science teaches us that this area was a natural sandpit left from the glaciers that helped form our Ramapo mountains.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
