Confirmed from Leatherstocking 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.

What runners say about Leatherstocking Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (22 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Really awesome trail that runs through neighborhoods. There are a lot of different places where you can access the trail. At points, depending on how far you walk, you may have to cross roads or walk on the road/sidewalk for a little bit. We joined the trail on Pinebrook Blvd across from Hillside Crescent.

★★★★★ — Johan , May 2021

Fantastic if you're running it as part of the Colonial Greenway loop. No official parking, so you'll have to figure out local rules

★★★★☆ — A , Jan 2021

Great hiking trail that I didn't know about before! Inclined so not for toddlers, or older adults who have trouble walking.

★★★★★ — Courtney , Jul 2021

Nice Trail well maintained. Great for dogs with scattered garbage cans around. Some of it especially the inclines are rocky areas so make sure to wear good Footwear this Trail is great but just make sure you wear it the correct shoes

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.

“There's no designated parking but it was easy to park in the neighborhood.”
