Confirmed from Neversink River Unique Area'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.
Park with trails and waterfalls that's good for kids and dogs.
What runners say about Neversink River Unique Area
“Beautiful views, I went in November and definitely was perfect weather.”
“Very serene, peaceful and exactly what I needed in a fishing trip.”
My trip to Neversink River in Cuddebackville, NY was definitely an unforgettable experience. I went there for one reason: fishing. I saw online that NYS stocks the River every year with 5,000 trout. So I decided to try and catch some fish. I went there with 2 set ups. One for bass and one for trout.
A unique area indeed! My partner and I hiked the Neversink Gorge Trailhead in light rain. The trailhead was absolutely enchanting, especially in the rain. The blue trail was primarily easy, however, there was some rocky terrain that could categorize the trail as moderate. The yellow trails were more difficult.
This place is a gem which is why it is really sad that visitors can't respectfully be in this space and pick up after themselves. Went on the trail and saw garbage everywhere. Not cool. Come on people, do better.
Access from Eden Rd goes across private land to State Land Parking lot. That road is in very bad shape, and even with an SUV going very slow it is difficult to drive. Blue trail after that is nice, all in the woods high above the Neversink river.

“Varied hiking landscapes and mist from the river and waterfalls made me feel like I was hiking on an island sometimes.”
