Confirmed from Donald J. Trump State 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.

A bunch of triggered people in these reviews. As from personal experience, not political I could say that this state park is so so. Nothing too special. Needs to be better maintained but great for a simple hike.

★★★★☆ — Am , Jun 2020

Had a nice Afternoon walking here. Just wish the state would cut the trees and grass. I'm going to visit again in the fall or winter 😁

★★★★★ — Richiefromtheyo , Jul 2023

Visited today with our dog, nice flat woods. It's not a park like FDR with picnic tables and amenities for those traveling from the city. Its rustic, barely touched, unmarked trails which I think were made by dirt bikes and quads. If you like the woods and quiet hiking/exploring, this is a great place.

Posted hours for the park or trailhead. Gates and parking lots often close earlier than the trail itself, and seasonal hours change — worth a check before a pre-dawn or after-dark run.
