We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Middletown Reservoir Trail - Red Start 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 Middletown Reservoir Trail - Red Start
Intensive depending on your ability to ride through highly rocky terrain in some/most parts of the trail. There is a man made stream that provides a somewhat serene view down to the reservoir (Red Trail)
This section of the Reservoir Trail, red Trail, is the relatively hard section. With narrow Trail, ups and downs, un even surface, makes it more like a real hiking Trail instead of recreational multi~use Trail like other section of Reservoir Trail.
2-4-24 update Started off of Highland Lakes Rd today and it was a beautiful day! A lot of folks out walking since its the first rain free weekend in a while! Did some of the black trail, the blue trail and out to Shawangunk Lake...trail conditions were pretty perfect...
Red trailhead on county rd 78 is where we started. Several cars can park at site. No restrooms or water. Narrow trails in spots, need to walkover a log. We did white and some blue trails then returned. Good hike, bug spray needed. Orange path isn't completed along red and blue trail.
