A short woodland walk through state forest land, this trail follows blue disk blazes for just over a kilometer and a half. Maintained by the Department of Environmental Conservation, the route is reported to offer a quiet introduction to the backcountry, though its modest length suggests it may serve as a connector or access path within the larger trail system. The going is generally straightforward, and the trail sees enough use to remain passable without being heavily trafficked.
Gulf Brook Trail runs 1.0 miles (1.7 km) with about 138 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 35 minutes on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
