A nice, pretty easy mini-hike. The grass path has a 5° to 10° grade and was mowed regularly (I believe), but DO check for ticks when you get back to the parking area. There was A LOT of dead trees and other flotsem blocking 2 out of 3 of the bridge piers crossing the Wallkill river at the end of the trail, causing QUITE a fast current, so mind your step at the waters edge.

Oct 27, 2022 · Google ReviewThis is a very easy 1.5 mile hike and it's beautiful. The majority of the walk is through a high meadow with wildflowers all around you and it ends at the river. My dogs did pick up a few ticks despite their meds but that's really anywhere this time of year. So just come prepared and it's very much worth it. I normally don't think to leave reviews for hikes but I really think this place is worthy of a little more foot traffic. .
Aug 3, 2022 · Google ReviewGreat hike. 3 miles total. You can un leash your dogs just be mindful because the train track is a few 100 yards to the left of the trail.
Apr 23, 2023 · Google ReviewA nice easy walk. Takes about about hour is you just go down to the river and back. I think it's roughly a mile.
