Confirmed from Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail access point'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 Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail access point

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (5 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Good location to access the Trail. Can be utilized to create loop rides using the Trail and local roads. Limited street parking only.

★★★★★ — Steve , Oct 2024

My favorite neighborhood trail. From Tappan ( close to NJ,) to Blauvelt NY.
