Orange Trail

Orange Trail is a short, easy hike in the Manumuskin River Preserve in New Jersey, managed by a non-governmental organization. The route is about 1.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 10 feet, and it is an out-and-back. The trail is rated easy, and the climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.22 miles in, where the grade reaches about 3 percent. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Millville show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 78°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. Several other trails lie within a short drive. The Seashore Line Trail is about 2.7 miles away, and the Harold N Peek Preserve Trail is about 4 miles away. Paddlers can reach the Maurice River, roughly 9.6 miles off.
