Confirmed from Passaic River 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.

Preserved lands offering hiking trails, fresh water fishing, athletic fields & cross country skiing.

What runners say about Passaic River County Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (79 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I've visited the Glenhurst Nature Trail section of the park; which is accessible from Mountain Ave in Warren. It's a great hidden gem; few people actually know it exists. There are several miles of loop trails and you will definitely see some wildlife once you get towards the back of the park along the Passaic River.

★★★★★ — Nick , Apr 2017

Really nice place, great for a family afternoon walking the park around, watching the waterfalls and be amazed by this hidden treasure

★★★★☆ — Nelson , Dec 2018

Beautiful hike, surrounded by nature and small wildlife - the only downside was that because of the trail's proximity to surrounding roads, you could still hear cars passing by depending on where you were. Regardless, definitely a hidden gem in the area and worth a hike.
