A brief ascent through NYSDEC-managed forest, this yellow-disk-marked trail climbs just under a kilometer to clifftop overlooks that are said to have drawn hunting raptors in seasons past. The route is reported to offer views across the surrounding woodland, though conditions and visibility vary with the season. Despite its modest length, the trail's elevation gain and exposed ledges warrant attention to footing, particularly in wet weather.
Fish Hawk Cliffs Trail runs 0.6 miles (1.0 km) with about 175 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a moderate, steady climb, about 25 minutes on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
