Confirmed from Palisades Walk'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.

What runners say about Palisades Walk

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (11 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I assume this is the short paved walk leading to the Esposito Rail Trail.

★★★★★ — Steve , Sep 2024

Nicely shaded on a summer day. After the walk it's less than a 5-minute walk to downtown Nyack where you can stop and have a cup of coffee or breakfast. Not paved so avoid after rain.

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.
