Confirmed from Terhune 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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

“I love this Park for the picturesque Hackensack River views and the wooded trail, and my daughter loves it for the slides, swings, and sea monster fixture :)”

This is a lovely park. I bring my rabbit here all the time. There is an adjacent scenic park that's got a lake view. Separated by a very short and cute trail, is the larger park where you'll find 2 playground sets, tennis court, soccer field and baseball field.

★★★★★ — Dee , Jun 2021

Great place to watch fireworks, updated playground, soccer field, small hiking path. Beautiful views and close to the river but its so buggy.

★★★★☆ — Shani , Nov 2024

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.
