We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Linwood Park, Palisades Interstate Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Linwood Park, Palisades Interstate Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (10 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

There is a hiking trail accessible on the Hudson terrace side of the park. There is a sign that clearly marks it. Follow the sign and cross the bridge over Hudson terrace and palisades interstate parkway. Make a right on the hiking trail and you’ll find two benches with magnificent views of the river and GWB.
