Ledge Loop Trail is a 0.63-mile loop in Connecticut's Campbell's Peaceful Valley Conservation Area, about 0.1 mile from Ridge Loop Trail. The trail climbs from a low point of 731 feet to 875 feet, with a total gain of 138 feet and a total loss of 168 feet, making it an easy outing that can be done in about half an hour. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Staffordville show July highs around 81°F and September highs near 73°F, with lows in the 50s. That station sits about 140 feet lower than the trail's high point, so expect slightly cooler temperatures on the higher ground. Several other trails lie close by, including Ridge Loop Trail and Pond Trail, while paddlers can reach the Middle River about 6 miles away. For an overnight stay, John and Frederica Johnson Memorial Camp is about 9.5 miles off.
