White Trail is a 1.37-mile hike in Mahlon Dickerson Reservation in New Jersey, on county land. The trail is an out-and-back, and the round trip covers about 2.7 miles with a total climb of 431 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.6 miles in, where the grade reaches 10 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 the station sitting well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The Red Trail and Green Trail are both within about half a mile, and the Ogden Mine Railroad Trail is close by for mountain biking. Lake Hopatcong, about 6 miles away, offers lake fishing.
