Blue Trail is an easy out-and-back hike of about 3.2 miles on county land in Point Mountain, New Jersey. The route starts and ends at nearly the same point, with a low of about 384 feet and a high of about 482 feet. It's a short walk with a small climb, and the steepest stretch is just past the beginning, with a 9% grade. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Belvidere run from highs around 71°F in May to about 76°F in September, while January highs average only 37°F and winter brings a few snowy days. Several other trails sit close by. Field Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and Summit Trail and Orange Trail are each about half a mile off. Valley View Trail is roughly 0.9 mile away.
