Confirmed from Guida Farm 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.
What runners say about Guida Farm Conservation Area
Very nice little park with a big open field your dogs can really sprint around in as well as a few hiking trails. It is a bit small though and in the summer there are lots of ticks.
We love coming here with our dogs. There are countless trails and open spaces. Perfect for a shorter hike at the end of the day and a good intro to hiking spot.
This place is a hidden gem! I've lived in Middletown for my entire life and my first time here was a couple weeks back. I really enjoyed taking my family here and trekking through the trails and open fields. The trails are wide and easy to traverse.
Excellent place for hiking. Mountain Biking, Horseback riding, Trails are wide and well maintained.
