Confirmed from Horizon Hill 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.
Park with scenic trails through hilly terrain, and wildlife sightings.
What runners say about Horizon Hill Conservation Area
“We didn’t get to far but I am looking forward to hiking longer and getting to some of the scenic viewpoints that were further up the trails.”
“It's a nice peaceful spot, but you can still hear the noise from 490 and from the Woodcliff when you head that way.”
This was a good moderate trail. I like the ups and downs. It was getting dark, so I didn't see much, but I will definitely be back to this one. I only hiked about half of it to the first overlook, but I was too short to see over the weeds. This trail is part of the Perington Wegmans passport trails.
Great place for a hiking. Mostly shaded. Don't forget your tick and bug spray, because the bugs can be intense. Parking lot is really small, but worth the attempt to get in. Very peaceful.
Great local park. Trails are easy even when muddy. Lots of wildlife and great views.
This is a convenient place to be able to fit in a hike during work hours. It's a nice peaceful spot, but you can still hear the noise from 490 and from the Woodcliff when you head that way. I still enjoy it quite a bit. It's hilly and gives a great work out. The main Orange Trail is part of the larger Crescent Trail.
