Confirmed from Estell Manor 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.
1,677-acre park offering birding, biking, boating, fishing, hiking & cross-country skiing options.

There's so much to do at Estelle Manor Park. Today I spent 5 plus hours running on the trails and boardwalk. The mountain bike trails were being used by runners, bicyclists and hikers. Several horse-back riders were on the trails designed for them.
This park is spectacular! It is very clean and very well maintained as well as beautiful. The historic buildings and structures there are very interesting and remarkable to look at from the 1800's and munitions factory from WWI with historical information signs.
It's a trail walking park. Heavily wooded and runs along a system of streams and rivers. There are some world war one era ruins of a munitions factory. It's much bigger than you would think. We did about 5 miles of walking in 2 hours.
Great park for nature walks! Pet friendly- just beware of ticks. Definitely recommend not bringing your dogs unless they’re on a good flea and tick treatment. Fitness trails, boardwalk trails, and play areas for children. We will definitely be returning.
