Confirmed from Gurney Lane Recreation Area Queensbury'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 Gurney Lane Recreation Area Queensbury
“You walk along a beautiful creek which runs into the Gurney Lane Pond.”
“Fabulous local park with very well marked mountain bike and multiuse trails.”
We came here after dinner to have a nice walk. We did the nature trail and one other. It’s a beautiful wooded area. Really clean park. There’s a lot to do here. They have a bike trail, pool, playground, and it looks like they offer a summer camp? Nice place!
Took my grandkids to swim lessons for 3 days. Great facility, swim area, lifeguards were awesome with the kids. In addition, there are playground, picnic areas, hiking trails as well.
Great trails! Just needs a bathroom. Even better, showers and EV charging like Ontario County Park in Finger Lakes
Amazing attraction here in Queensbury! So much to see and do at this park. There are many trail options, whether it be for hiking or mountain biking, plus a large pool and playgrounds. I really like the "You are Nature" trail which is a nature trail for walking.
