Confirmed from Maybrook Rail With Trail (RWT)'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.

Newly finished and well maintained. Great trail for running, walking & cycling. Small section in Brewster over bridge is not complete, so you have to walk down and up some stairs to continue from/to Danbury, but the remainder is awesome.
Incredible trail. A 7 mile (roundtrip) flat paved bikeway with a great water view. Perfect for kids!
