Confirmed from Mountainview Nature 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.
Hillside nature park featuring steep, wooded hiking trails with scenic river & mountain views.
What runners say about Mountainview Nature Park
“Mostly technical and vertical trails, with beautiful woodlands and a mountain.”
Mostly technical and vertical trails, with beautiful woodlands and a mountain. However, I thought the scenic lookout would show me the Tappan zee bridge but it overlooks the palisades mall and the highway. Download the map before you go!
The Orange Trail is short, but challenging. The White Trail is much easier and more scenic. Very few people on a weekend.
One of the cleanest trails I've been on in the area. Almost no garbage. However, the highway is pretty loud at times
Hidden park directly adjacent to busy Route 59. Trails are challenging and need some maintenance.

The practical stuff
- AccessPosted hours — posted hours below; park gates sometimes close earlier than the listing says
- SurfaceNatural surface — easiest on the joints and the most fun, but expect roots, rocks and mud after rain
- 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.
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
