Confirmed from Huber Woods Park'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 360+ acres of green space, multi-use trails & an environmental center with exhibits.

“Trails are clearly marked and easy to follow.”
“Beautiful walking trails & lovely small museum for all ages.”
Access to great horse and hiking trails, lots of open land with hills, and a sand arena to work our horses in, too. Trailer parking by the red barns. Bathrooms in the office. Great road trip with our horses. Used to ride here as a kid, great to be back with my own horse as an adult! Love this place.
Some people think the Metric system is the best. Others think the best system is the Dewey decimal system is the greatest. Still others think the Eisenhower Interstate System is perfection They are all wrong The best system Is the Monmouth County Parks System The programs The places The playground The trails Monmouth…
Great place for easy walks/hikes. Trails are clearly marked and easy to follow. The Environmental Center was a great place to visit as well.
Perfect outing with small children. The reptile house plus indoors nature center and hiking trails made for a great afternoon.
