Confirmed from Schodack Town 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.

“this park is a beautiful park with many trails to walk on, a playground, and a creek, but this Fall my dog has picked up ticks every time we have gone.”

Beautiful area tucked into schodack. Lots of space. A little river going through it. And lots of trees and trails. Where the heck are all the birds though?

★★★★★ — James , Mar 2024

I love this park, all year round! The trails are well maintained and the stream is a beautiful feature throughout the park. Come in the summer to cool off, and come in the winter for a peaceful walk.

★★★★★ — Rebecca , Dec 2022

this park is a beautiful park with many trails to walk on, a playground, and a creek, but this Fall my dog has picked up ticks every time we have gone. Just make sure to check for ticks.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
