Confirmed from Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill'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.
Short hill popular for sledding, picnics, frisbee and dog walking, with views.
What runners say about Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill
“It was always a beautiful place for a short walk but now there are more walking paths and benches to sit at and enjoy the amazing views.”
Clear signage from the road. Ample parking. I went on a cool October Sunday the day after heavy rains. Definitely some puddles, mud, crab apples, and slippery grass. Wear good shoes and watch your step. I won’t downplay this hill. It’s a steep hill, and I had to stop to catch my breath multiple times.
Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill is a 76-acre park located in Rhinebeck, New York, that offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the Shawangunk Ridge, Catskill and Taconic mountains, Stissing Mountain, and the Berkshires. I've enjoyed this location with my own family and clients.
I took a snowy walk up this beautiful high peak. It was beautiful. It has to be amazing on a clear day.
I’ve walked here a few times but not in years. It was always a beautiful place for a short walk but now there are more walking paths and benches to sit at and enjoy the amazing views. Being late October the trees were in their full Fall colors. There are three benches at the top of Burger Hill.

“I can’t help but think that if Van Gogh had lived in the Hudson Valley instead of France, he would have escaped to these hills and fields, painting them again and again.”
“Parking lot was icy in spots, but able to stay on gravel patches.”
