Confirmed from Pascack Brook County 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.

I grew up here. Me and all my friends throughout HS hung out here for everything. It has changed beautifully over the years, I take my kids here and they love the trails and parks and the new connection to westvale.
Beautiful peaceful and spacious park. Lots of areas to stroll, bike, or walk your dog. No crowds whenever I went there - hardly anyone there, which makes it so much more peaceful. Great kids play areas and pond. Lots of deer in this park - love it!
I’ve been in Bergen county for the last 25 years. I’m so mad I found out about This park so late. Def had to be the cleanest/well maintained park in the entire state of NJ. My dog and I enjoy the walks. The maintenance staff is super friendly and informative.
A nice well appointed local park with walking paths both paved and unpaved, large sports fields and such impeccably maintained. Has a large double dog run (large/small dogs) the wood chips can get muddy, but then a dirty dog is a happy dog.
