We took the Blue route. Almost a straight line. The blue route is almost 3 miles one way. Marker just stops, we went a bit further to make sure no more blue marker and then just back track. There are two parking area. Nice walk/hike, saw some people/w dogs and cyclists, all were friendly.

Peaceful and serenity defines this place well. Benches located through-out, but wish there were more for the disabled like me. I still thoroughly enjoy this nature preserve the best! It's a place to experience nature that's not far from home. There are guided tours with Friends of Black Run Preserve with the appreciated ambassadors. Check it out!

Large natural preserve with various trails. A great deal of variety from water (smaller lakes and ponds) to hard-pack trails to sand or light stone pathways. Trails are on both sides of the street. Parking is on both sides as well. Trails are fairly well marked with benches in some locations. Would recommend using the QR code for the online maps.

I enjoy walking around here.

Trails are very well maintained and fairly level, views are excellent and a nice combination of vegetation, bogs and water landscape. While the trails are well marked with color coded markers, it would have been helpful to have a few posted maps showing where trails lead and a "you are here" locator on the map. I tried to download a map on my phone using a posted QR code but was not that useful of a map.

I love finding these gems in NJ! There are beautiful trails here with a variety of scenery. From pines to bogs to beaver dams! This place is well maintained but heavily trafficked. There were a TON of people and dogs in the trail and it was quite challenging to find parking in the early afternoon. There was 0 elevation change so it's a good place to go with small dogs or children. I went with a fearful dog and he did well as most people kept their dogs on leash (as told by signage)... but there was one off leash dog which was a tad annoying. All in all i enjoyed the little bit of nature this brought to mine and my dogs life.
