Confirmed from Pochuck Boardwalk Suspension Bridge'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.

First time here and really enjoyed it. Ample road shoulder parking at trail head off of 517. Lots of cars parked and still plenty of places. Perfect timeof year for this walk. Its full 100% sun so would be quite hot in summer but today it was great. Boardwalk is elevated so no mud.
Beautiful hike across the wetlands with this beautiful old suspension bridge over the creek. It seems like a pretty sturdy bridge but also bounces a bit as you hike across.
The Pochuck Boardwalk Suspension Bridge, nestled along the Appalachian Trail in the New Jersey-New York region, offers a scenic and peaceful experience. Surrounded by wetlands and lush greenery, the bridge gently sways above Pochuck Creek, adding an element of adventure to your hike.
Amazing bridge along an amazing, and relatively easy hiking/walking trail. Of course, it is also a major access point to the nearby Stairway to Heaven, so that's there if you want and can do the vertical challenge. The bridge itself is stunning.
