Blue Trail

Blue Trail is a short, easy hike on Town of Lewisboro land in New York, managed by city land. The route is about 1.2 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 174 feet and a total loss of 244 feet, so it works well as a quick outing or a link between other trails in the area. The trail is a point-to-point route, and the steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.16 miles in, with a 10% grade. Dogs are allowed as long as they stay on a leash, and bikes are not permitted. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Danbury, Connecticut, show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 82°F. The Yellow Trail and Green Trail both start about 0.2 miles away, and the Orange Trail is about 0.7 miles off. Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, a climbing area, lies about 3.4 miles away.
