Blue Trail is a short, easy loop hike of about 2.5 miles in New York, roughly a mile from the community of Suffolk Pines. The trail rises only about 24 feet, so it is a low-effort outing. The loop's shape means the climb up and back is built into the route, with the highest point at about 44 feet and the lowest at about 3 feet. The steepest section comes around the 0.6-mile mark, where the grade reaches about 6 percent. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 74°F with lows near 54°F, while July highs run about 81°F. Bikes are not allowed on this trail. Green Trail and Yellow Trail start within a quarter mile, and Red Trail is about 0.7 miles away. Eastport Mountainbike Trail, about 6 miles off, offers mountain biking.
