Confirmed from Hudson River Brickyard Trail - Empire State Trail - Hudson Valley Greenway Trail - Kingston Section'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 Hudson River Brickyard Trail - Empire State Trail - Hudson Valley Greenway Trail - Kingston Section

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (15 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Very pleasant walk along the Hudson. Paved trail that is part of a much larger one. Out and back trail with a nice spot to stop, snack and enjoy a wonderful view of the river. About 1.9 miles each way wit a couple of gentle hills along the way.

★★★★★ — Mike , Mar 2025

Very beautiful and serene. Bring your dog for a nice walk. Something that I find interesting, the public bathroom here is remarkably modern and clean! Looks more like it should be in an office building.

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.

The practical stuff

  • AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
