Wild Turkey Trail

Wild Turkey Trail is a 1-mile point-to-point hike in Overpeck County Park, a county-managed park in New Jersey. The trail rises from about 180 feet to 525 feet, with a total elevation gain of 315 feet, and is rated moderate. It is a short outing, estimated to take about half an hour, and it is open to bikes. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Dobbs Ferry, New York, run to highs around 73°F in May and 77°F in September, with July the warmest at about 86°F. That station sits roughly 325 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the higher ground run a little cooler. The trail sits close to several other routes. Green Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and Yellow Dot Trail and Unblazed - Zeds Trail are each about 0.2 mile off. For climbers, Orange Hill Bouldering is about 2.5 miles away.
