White Trail is a short, moderate hike in Apshawa Preserve in New Jersey, managed by a non-governmental organization. The trail is 0.37 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 110 feet, and it rises from about 836 feet to a high point of 896 feet before descending slightly to 765 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.27 miles in, where the grade reaches 11 percent. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, with lows near 48°F and 52°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run a little cooler. The hike takes about half an hour. The Green Loop Trail and the Blue Trail both start within about a third of a mile, and the Red Loop Trail is about half a mile away. Climbers can find the b. North Central area about 3 miles off.
