Confirmed from Two Rivers State Park Recreation Area'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.
Wooded spot for hiking and biking trails plus picnic areas.

“Love it here ,my wife and I enjoy foraging these here woods ,trails are clear and clean.”
“There are some areas where the trails are not clearly marked; there are 3 and you may end up on a different one than you intended.”
Great hiking, biking, trails . They are well marked and well maintained. There is multiple rivers/streams and two lakes as well. It is great for dogs and bird looking. Very unique park!
Nice long trails through wilderness, easy-moderate climb with good footing. 40' spillway from reservoir is pretty. Good place for a large picnic.
Great place to walk close to home. We live in Gillett and have driven to Watkins, Ithaca and the Penn Grand Canyon to hike. We didn't know this was in our backyard. Three nice trails with rustic but convenient bathrooms at the trail head. Dogs are welcome on a 6 ft. leash.
Awesome Park to visit if in the area. Tons of trails and very scenic around the old reservoirs. Nice tennis courts and Picnic areas with a few pavilions. You can Hike or mountain bike on the trails.
