Burn Trail is a short, easy hike in Saugatuck Falls Natural Area in Connecticut, about half a mile long and roughly 90 feet of elevation gain. It's a point-to-point route, so you don't need to retrace your steps, and the climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.3 miles in. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, while July peaks near 82°F. Several other trails start close by. Knapp Way is about 0.1 mile away, and the Power Line Trail and Oak Trail are each about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find Bald Rock about 2.4 miles away.
