A short connector marked by red disks, this trail provides access to the Skylight area, where glacial forces are reported to have carved the surrounding terrain. Despite its modest three-quarter-kilometer length, the path is often noted for the quality of terrain it crosses on the approach to higher ground. Maintained by the NYSDEC, it serves as a direct link in the larger trail network of the region.
Skylight Trail runs 0.5 miles (0.8 km) — an easy hike, nearly level throughout, about 15 minutes on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
