Field 6 Loop is a short, easy loop hike of about 0.4 miles on county land within Schick Reserve in New Jersey. The trail is a flat, low-elevation route, with a total climb of about 23 feet and a low point of 381 feet. It is a loop, so you can start and end at the same point. The trail is rated easy and works well as a quick outing. Bikes and horses are both allowed, which makes it a flexible option for riders and equestrians. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 77°F, while July peaks near 86°F. Several other short loops sit close by, including Field 5 Loop and Field 4 Loop, each about 0.1 mile away, and Through the Woods Trail at about 0.2 mile.
