Confirmed from Morris County Railroad Trail Access' 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.

What runners say about Morris County Railroad Trail Access

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (1 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Here the Morris County Railroad crossed West Dewey Ave. Hiking north is prohibited but the ROW quickly merges into active rail lines so no bother. That was the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad. It’s a easy hike from here south to Hopatcong Junction where the line joined the Central Railroad of New Jersey.

The practical stuff

  • AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
