We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Wawarsing Turnpike Trail yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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 Wawarsing Turnpike Trail

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (25 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 4 mentions

A great little connecting trail for the Peters Kill and Jenny Lane Footpath. There are several larger downed trees on the eastern side before reaching the Peters Kill parking lot. Hoping to be able to clear those up this summer.

★★★★☆ — Kimberly , May 2021

Beautiful views. Moderately hard trail. Would recommend short spikes during winter months.

★★★★★ — Atul , Jan 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.
