Confirmed from Mohawk Landing Nature 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.
Easy, nature- and wildlife-centric place, for walking and hiking, with picnic spots.
What runners say about Mohawk Landing Nature Preserve
“This is a beautiful town park, with easy access trails, picnic tables, and lovely views of the Mohawk River.”
This is a beautiful town park, with easy access trails, picnic tables, and lovely views of the Mohawk River. The trails are well-marked and maintained, this is perfect for small children. Don't expect a long walk though, there are not too many trails available.
Very short hike the begining part is wheel chair friendly up to the first picnic area which gives a nice view of the river and power plant. Didn't take a picture of the plant because well it's not that great looking.
Quiet and small trail overlooking beautiful Mohawk River. There are a few picnic tables too.
The walking path is beautiful 👍 The trees are enough I want to go again✌️
