White Trail is a short loop in Flat Rock Brook, a city-managed property in New Jersey. The route is about half a mile long, with a low point of 214 feet and a high of 304 feet, and it's rated easy. The climb is gentle overall, but the steepest stretch comes early, around 0.14 miles in, with a 15% grade. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs of 62°F in April to 67°F in October. That station sits roughly 300 feet below the trail, so expect temperatures on the trail to run slightly cooler. The Purple Trail is just 0.1 mile away, and the Red Loop and Orange Trail are within half a mile. For climbing, Fort Tryon Park lies about 2 miles off.
