We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Halfway Brook Trail Head yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

“The trail is a fairly easy to follow wide stone path that is 1.”

Halfway Brook is a nice muti-recreational trail in Queensbury, NY. The trail is a fairly easy to follow wide stone path that is 1.2 miles long. The terrain is mostly flat with only a few small hills. The most scenic part is the bridge that crosses Halfway Brook. There are two separate parking areas for the trail.

★★★★☆ — Ryan , May 2025

Easy 1.2 mile trail to get out of the house with the kids/dogs or just yourself. It is 1 of 4 nature walks offered by Queensbury Park and Recreation.

★★★★★ — Aries , Aug 2023

One of the best trails within the Queensbury NY Parks And Recreation network. Environmental cleanliness.

★★★★★ — Jason , Apr 2024

Looking for a quiet easy trail to meander or galavant? This trail is 1.2 miles long. Well groomed and kept. Two open trailheads that lead to one another. Beautiful hand built bridge to cross the babbling brook you seamlessly follow alongside. Different flowers and fungus to see as you travel.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

Flat & fast 2 mentions

“Great little walk to stretch the legs, couple big hills but flat for the most part.”
