Confirmed from Landsdown Meadow and Trail'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.

An absolutely fantastic well maintained trail. This is the southern trailhead following the Lehigh Valley Railroad Clinton Branch line. The trail is never muddy, wide, and well maintained. The southern trailhead has a small lot that can fit 8-10 cars. Dog friendly.
Nice flat, well maintained gravel trail that is great for walking, jogging or bicycle riding with the kids. Trail passes a couple farms and some open pastures. It meanders through the woods next a lazy little stream/river. I walk here with my dog often and always encounter friendly people enjoying a bit of nature.
Great rail trail. You can walk to Clinton or continue south over the train tracks, all the way to Pittstown. The trail is very well maintained, never muddy either, even after a good rain. Great for walking, running, or biking. No restrooms on either end. Trail is also dog friendly.
Flat trail and rarely muddy. 1 mask worn = 1 happy Ken. If you want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, the trail continues to Pittstown across the railroad and to the right.
