Confirmed from Twin Lakes County 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.
This park's equestrian center offers riding lessons, year-round boarding space & miles of trails.
What runners say about Twin Lakes County Park
“Great walking area around the lake , lots joggers and bikers, the water is not clean.”
“Beautiful county park for running or walking.”
“This is a great location for a walk or jog.”
“Very quiet and you may have a chance to bump into a family of deer.”
Great place to take a walk with the family. I enjoyed the quietness and cleanliness of the park. It has many paths to take. The drive from my house was beautiful. They had a barn by the park with horses. I'd recommend for a nice run or walk for a breath of fresh air.
Always a nice park to walk through. Depending what paths you take, the park feels huge. There's been a few times where the lot was full and I still barely bumped into anyone on the trails. Very quiet and you may have a chance to bump into a family of deer.
This is a great location for a walk or jog. Iv’e been here several times both alone or with others. If you live in the Bronx and have a car this is easily accessible. There is a large (by City folk standards) central lake which is surrounded by woods.
It's our local place for a lovely walk. The dogs love it, we get a lot of exercise. Watch out for the poison ivy

“Very quiet and you may have a chance to bump into a family of deer.”
“Parking can be located by the equestrian center on California Rd.”
“The trail can require some attention in spots due to thick knotty snaking tree roots underfoot and jutting outcroppings of rock.”
“Of note, there is a very large almost flat topped boulder across the lake visible when you are alongside the length that borders the Parkway.”
“If you live in the Bronx and have a car this is easily accessible.”
