Confirmed from Passaic River 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.
What runners say about Passaic River Park
Nice wooded area with a trail for a quick walk, and a view of a creek (and some condos in the background 😂). Parking on the side of the road near the park sign
Beautiful, peaceful spot right in Summit! Passaic River Park is such a hidden gem. The walking trails are well-kept and follow the river, giving you great views and a nice breeze even on warm days. It’s perfect for a morning jog, an afternoon walk with the dog, or just sitting by the water to relax.
A very relaxing park You can walk through the woods and enjoy the sound of the water ripples and the birdsongs.
