This series of linked trails make a great woodland ramble. From spring flowers, summer cool walking, fall colors, to winter snowshoeing or skiing. These were VHT's first trails, in 1993 with a new loop added in 2008. Most of the area is town park, although generous neighbors have permitted trails over their land.

And there is a small trail-side pond popular with turtles.


The name, Monkey Run, comes from an early name of what is now Valentown Rd. So named, possibly, because of its curvy nature.

There are two entrances, the main one, with parking for several cars, is on Springdale Ct., off the Victor Egypt road, just south of Valentown Rd. and nearly opposite the Bluebird Trail and Haven. The other is on Valentown Rd. at the gas pipeline right of way; but there is no usable parking here.
