Confirmed from Riverwalk view of NYC'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.

Excellent place to run with great views of NYC. It doesn’t they too busy so you can run or walk comfortably almost any time of the day. It’s also safe here as there are some people around and the neighborhood around is a nice one
Best views of the NY skyline. Great restaurants and stores nearby like Son Cubano and Ben & Jerry’s. Really chill atmosphere too. Great for walks, runs, or just sitting down and enjoying the view. Parking isn’t too bad either.
Pretty New York City view, perfect spot to walk around, run or work out. In the Riverwalk place live music available on Thursday and see the 6th picture for details.
Beautiful spot to look at NY skyline. Long walkway along Hudson river, good for walking, jogging, or running. Benches are also available in few places. street parkings available, but might have to drive around a bit looking for one
