Confirmed from Hockanum River Hiking Trail'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 Hockanum River Hiking Trail
“Resting place and beautiful moments you can get.”
I'm assuming this is just some sort of sewer easement that they decided to make a trail because they had to maintain it anyway? A nice little walk in the woods and it's short enough that Even my two-year-old walked the whole time
