Confirmed from Greenport Conservation Area'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.
Spread over 625 acres, this conservation area preserves the area's varied natural landscape.

Really beautiful scenic walk near the Hudson, where you can catch a glimpse of the Catskill Mountains in the horizon. Went at the tail end of the winter, so nothing is growing yet, but I can imagine it’s gorgeous in the Spring when everything is in bloom. Everything is relatively flat so it’s a very leisurely walk.
Beautiful park. Lots to explore, a real variety of trails and great scenery. After two visits, I haven't come anywhere near exploring all of it.
This place is a little piece of heaven, not only are the trails gorgeous, but easy for beginners and for anyone who wants some peace and quiet. Dusk was perfect timing to visit. If you want to have a picnic or just have a conversation this is what you're looking for in an afternoon hike.
Very peaceful and great place to take pictures. Much larger area than I previously thought. Several different trails. Some leading to overlook areas or picnic areas. There's benches in several areas as well.

“Great place for exercise & if you have dogs, be sure they are leashed at all times for their own safety but also so they don't disturb the wildlife.”

“If you decide to go in the Spring, be sure to wear some sort of waterproof boot as there are some places that are very muddy.”
