Field 7 Trail is a short, easy hike on County Land within Schick Reserve in New Jersey. The out-and-back route is about 0.96 miles long and rises roughly 120 feet from start to finish, so it's a gentle walk with no real climb to speak of. The trail starts at about 483 feet and reaches a high point of 494 feet before returning, and the steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.12 miles in, with a grade of around 11%. The trail is rated easy and works well as a quick stop or a link in a longer day of exploring the reserve's network of short loops. Bikes and horses are both allowed. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable.
