East Trail

A yellow-blazed route through state forest land, this trail extends just over eleven kilometers and is reported to follow a generally ascending grade. Maintained by the Department of Environmental Conservation, the path offers hikers a sustained traverse of mixed woodland typical of the region's backcountry. The distance and elevation gain suggest a commitment of several hours for those drawn to longer walks in relative solitude.
