A brief but steep connector through mature forest, this trail earns its name from a gradient that delivers considerable elevation gain in a short distance. The route measures just over half a kilometer yet is reported to provide a notable workout for hikers moving between points in the broader trail network. Part of the Lake Wawayanda system, it serves as a direct if demanding link through the wooded terrain.
Big Slope Trail runs 0.4 miles (0.6 km) with about 147 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a moderate, steady climb, about 15 minutes on the trail.
