Confirmed from East Mongaup River 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.
Recreation area offering picnic facilities, trails, a playground, and athletic fields.

Beautiful park that we didn’t know about and is only a short car ride from the house. We went on a snowy day and were alone in the park. We tried to find the waterfall but failed. After following the yellow trail we jumped on the red trail which is a little more challenging but nothing crazy.
The park is sooo beautiful is super super clean the walking trails are really nice and peaceful. They have many amenities and a soccer field a and a picnic area but everything immaculate and well taking care, the playground area is great and has plenty of things to play my kids love to come to this park we really…
I think this is one of our areas hidden treasures. It is beautiful, serene and well kept with beautiful clear water in the stream. It is a favorite place to take our dogs walking.
Great place nice trails Beautiful streams very peaceful nicely maintained
