Confirmed from Middletown Reservoir Trail Gateway'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.

One of my favorite walks in the area any season. Form the lower lake and around the Highland lake. Well made road/paths go around most of the lake
What a beautiful job the City of Middletown has done in developing the hiking trails around the reservoirs. Some trails of designated as walking and bicycles while others are just walking. There's limited access to porta johns. And it is carry in carry out.
great local place to hike, bike or run. Added some seating areas and cleared out the downed trees
Excellent... Beautiful...the lake is amazing. You can walk,run, jog, bike, you can take your dog. The path is wide and clean,it has its ups and downs. The environment is amazing. Trees everywhere. Nature in all its splendor.
