Confirmed from The Eugene and Agnes Meyer Nature Preserve'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 The Eugene and Agnes Meyer Nature Preserve
“Terrain is gorgeous with fern groves, stream and rock formations.”
Great park with single track trails. Very quick drive from Armonk. Terrain is gorgeous with fern groves, stream and rock formations. A great place for a trail run, not too populated.
I love nature at the nature. I love here and not far from Manhattan, NY. Lake is supply water for people in Mt. Kisco (i guess). The hard trail have so many buggy.
Small preserve, free parking, trails muddy after rain. Can hear highway noise.
Amazing alone after sunrise during autumn:) Truly alive. Smells so good. Suprised how beautiful the trail is compared to others.
