We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Stony Kill Farm Environmental Education Center yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.

Farms, woodland and gardens plus a barn with animals for petting, plus walking trails.

“Staff is nice and beautiful animals, no horses though, good farm experience 😀”

One of the last farms in the Beacon area. Amazing to have around. Barn is open on weekends. Trails are great, some we're damaged in the storm. Unfortunately there are tons of McMansion communities infringing. Donate to keep the land from becoming another "high end" development. I'm going to call it big block housing.

★★★★★ — Matthew , Feb 2019

Beautiful farm. We wanted to hike the nature trails, but just too muddy after much recent rains. So we walked thru the farm & said hello to the cows grazing in the fields. Like a step back in time. Historic buildings/barns on site. Really enjoyed.

★★★★★ — Joann , Nov 2021

There was less going on at the farm than I expected. You can't get close/see the animals without scheduling a tour, at least that was the policy last weekend. They have educational programs for kids, a pretty large property and a cool pond.

★★★★☆ — Johan , May 2021

Great place to see and interact with farm animals. Lots of space for kids to run. Staff are very friendly.
