Confirmed from Rahway River Parkway'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 Rahway River Parkway
4 just because it is nice to walk along the river (other than that this is pretty bare bones stuff - but that is OK). No facilities and a pretty small open area. The Trail is maintained ok, they clear trees but it is a dirt path.

The practical stuff
