Confirmed from Silver Mine'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Very beautiful and pleasant place, We visited during Fall (2nd Weekend of October).”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“hiking from Silvermine Lake to Black Mountain—tranquil trails, peaceful moments, fresh mountain air, quiet reflections, grateful heart, nature’s calm embrace.”

Fun time going up and down the ski trail. The loop takes a couple of hours of serious hiking. Must visit the dam and see "glamping" tents next to it.

★★★★★ — Zoran , May 2021

Large Parking lot near trail heads, a lake, a picnic area and a heated restroom that is opened even during winter. In season there is a fee for parking here ($6 or $8, I don't remember). Menomine trail with connection to the Appalachian trail,Ramapo-Dunderberg trails and the Long Path starts here

★★★★★ — Yurii , Mar 2023

It's a nice state park. Used to be a ski zone Park now you can come tubing in the winter and it has more done 1,000 acre of hiking land. Has nice bathrooms, clean, it's a very beautiful area. And very fresh air

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.

🏞️ Scenic views 8 mentions

“Leaf peeping, family gatherings and BBQs surounded by the amazing views are unforgettable experiences.”
