Confirmed from Indian Point 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.
Nature preserve offering scenic routes, including some along a creek, plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Indian Point Park
“Highly recommend for anyone who loves scenic trails and doesn’t mind earning their view!”
“The trail is incredibly quiet; you can actually hear the wind through the trees and the birds instead of traffic or chatter.”
Indian point is always a nice place to hike! Today the river was mostly frozen, so we were able to hike down the center of it! My Siberian Husky Sage loved it
Beautiful park! Perfect place for hiking. We went all the way down the path and ended up at the river. Will definitely be coming back!
River, trees, and nice place to hike. We didnt explore the whole park yet but will return. Would br an excellent spot to build a single track bike park.
Family had a great time creek walking and enjoying the various trails. Plus we set up a barbeque in the picnic area near we parked capping off a great day for all! Loved it!
