Confirmed from Hudson River 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 featuring a playground, picnic tables, and tennis courts, plus a boat launch.

What runners say about Hudson River Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (141 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Water was super calm, peaceful, and warm for a nice early evening paddle.”

Nice small, but deep boat launch with dock. No problem launching my 22' deck boat. Pretty area of river to see fall foliage or swim in the summer. You must get off I87 at X18, then make first right back a few miles to the park and river.

★★★★★ — James , Oct 2018

Nice place to walk its after the boating season.the gate locked so no cars or pickup trucks

★★★★★ — Jay , Nov 2020

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.

🐕 Dog-friendly

“Great place to let our dog run!”

  • DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
