Fox Run Trail is a short, easy hike of about 0.3 miles in New York, set at a high point of 1,753 feet with a gentle climb of 41 feet. It is a point-to-point route rather than a loop, and the steepest stretch comes early, with a grade of about 6% at about 0.05 miles in. The trail starts near 1,728 feet and ends near 1,753 feet, with a slight drop of 29 feet at the end. The nearest town is Keese Mill, about 1.2 miles away. Summer is the mildest time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 77°F and lows near 51°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s and 30s. That station sits at nearly the same elevation as the trail. The trail works well with other outings in the area. Logger's Loop (Olive) and Fox Run Trail (Red) are both cross-country ski routes about 0.1 mile away, and the Skidder Trail hike is about 0.3 mile off. For a longer outing, the K: Northern Region climbing area is about 4 miles away.
