A short loop of just under two kilometers, this yellow-marked trail traverses varied woodland terrain under state management. The route is reported to offer quiet passage through forest that invites contemplation, though the landscape's character shifts as the trail progresses. Modest in length and undemanding in profile, the circuit serves walkers seeking a brief immersion in the woods without committing to a longer expedition.
L. Morgan Porter Trail runs 1.2 miles (1.9 km) with about 128 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 40 minutes on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
