Confirmed from Mohawk Park'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.
Family-friendly spot with swings, slides and a jungle gym for little ones.
What runners say about Mohawk Park
“One can walk around the pond and enjoy the changing fall folliage and scenic landscape.”
Very well maintained by township. Trail is short but almost surrounded by green tree and small lake. Township need to take care of broken trees. It's on walkway. Now it's summer time so you will see lots of health conscious people with kids or dogs. Lots of kids comes for fishing 🎣 😊
I want not specting such a beautiful place. I have drove by there many times. I would had never imagined. You can not appreciate the beauty from a car. we walked around the trail surrounded by trees. So peaceful. We encountered deers, bunnies, ducks, birds and wonderful people walking their dogs.
I stopped by here a couple of weeks ago when I was in the area, just as a place to get away from all the traffic, and eat my sandwich. Took a short little hike when I was done. Nice bridge and fall foliage, making this a great place for photo ops. The basketball court seems like an awesome place to play.
It's a quaint little park with a good walking loop around a lake. Basketball court is there and a new bplayground set as well. Fishing can be done here as well
