Confirmed from Mountain Lake 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.

Pretty community park with a lake and lodge that hosts functions.

What runners say about Mountain Lake Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (37 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 9 mentions

“Beautiful public park with a large lake and many buildings that are multi-purpose and/or for rent.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“Outdoor ceremony with a private lake scenery, quiet, peaceful, amazing space, and thoughtful staff.”

We are fortunate to have a few wonderful parks in the Town of Warwick, NY, but I want to single out one and thank the Town for purchasing the old Kutz Camp, now called Mountain Lake Park.

★★★★★ — Pat , Dec 2022

I love this park. I love the pool. I love the grounds. I've been a member for the last few years since I moved to Warwick and I'll spend a few hours at the pool and I will take a beautiful walk around by the lake and the cabins and it's just very very peaceful

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

🏞️ Scenic views 12 mentions

“In addition to its large stone rustic fireplace, the Lodge Dining Hall has floor to ceiling windows to view the lake and surrounding woods throughout every season.”
