Confirmed from Tenafly Nature Center- Bellflower Fairy Trail'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 Tenafly Nature Center- Bellflower Fairy Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (16 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice place for a walk for an hour or so. Feel being in wilderness while being in a town

★★★★★ — Leonid , Mar 2023

Very quiet and easy walk for kids. The free parking lot is small, but you can Street park a little down the hill. No stroller friendly. Lots of small surprises on the way for toddlers and teens. The visitor centre is very friendly and we love the staff there.

★★★★★ — Maggielicious , May 2026

Fun trail with lots of amenities and activities. This is a great place for kids. My child loved the fairy houses, which is why we visited. There's a lake with canoes. We saw some rescued birds, which was great: couple of barn owls and a red tailed hawk.
