Confirmed from Leeds Pond Preserve'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.

Beautiful waterfront area great for a walk, sandbar and a few Osprey nests. This is a gem of a picturesque setting. Park your card at the nearby LI Science Museum.

★★★★★ — Rob , Dec 2017

Roadway divides Leeds Pond from Manhasset Bay. A beautiful drive/bike/walk.

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.
