We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Hidden Pond Park 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.

What runners say about Hidden Pond Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (20 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

One of the highest places on long Island, great hiking and biking trails and indoor ice rink

★★★★★ — Tommy , Nov 2025

It's a great park with great energy and just a very calming place to be! What people should know is there's two trails that are sort of separate. You have the biking Trail by the Rinx, which is on a steep hill. Then you have the more forest trail near the ball field.

★★★★★ — Hotspots , May 2023

Nice, hilly section of the Greenbelt Hiking Trail, which is excellent for short day hikes. You can go on the connecting trails as far as you like (the full length of the Greenbelt Trail is about 16 miles, traversing LI from north to south.

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.
