Winding through state forest land for just over four kilometers, this blue-blazed route follows the drainage of its namesake watercourse and offers a relatively straightforward traverse of mixed hardwood terrain. The trail is maintained by the Department of Environmental Conservation and marked with blue disk blazes throughout its length. Though less traveled than some of the region's better-known paths, it provides quiet access to the upper watershed and is reported to connect with several older logging roads that once served the area's timber operations.
Orebed Brook Trail runs 2.7 miles (4.3 km) with about 1,847 feet of elevation gain — a demanding hike, with a sustained climb, about 2 h 15 min on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
