A short but rewarding climb through mixed forest, this yellow-disk-marked trail ascends to a modest summit viewpoint in just under a kilometer and a half. Managed by the NYSDEC, the route is often praised for its efficiency—delivering a satisfying woodland walk and what is reported to be a pleasant outlook without requiring significant time or mileage. The trail's brevity makes it well-suited for an evening ramble or as a warm-up hike when exploring the surrounding network of paths.
Nubble Trail runs 0.9 miles (1.4 km) with about 194 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 30 minutes on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
