Confirmed from Landing Avenue 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.

Relaxed park featuring a playground, a floating dock and Nissequogue River access.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (101 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“Beautiful place to have lunch, bring the kids, fish, or kayak through the river.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

“Clean, quiet and just enough fun for the children to sit eat lunch play and look out at the water on the floating dock.”

Great little park with a floating dock on the Nissequogue river. Drop a canoe in and paddle for a few hours or just sit in the shade. Playground for kids and Bar B Que for picnic. I take my dog for a walk on the trail that is along the river.

★★★★★ — Brendan , Jan 2020

If you want to go fishing on a charter or just walk out on the pier this is a top notch place to choose

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.
