Lakeview Loop is a short, easy loop hike in New York, about half a mile long and sitting roughly 0.4 miles from the town of Mohegan Lake. The trail is a loop, so you can start and end at the same point, and it rises only about 41 feet from its lowest point at 444 feet to a high of 505 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.36 miles in, where the grade reaches 9 percent. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Shrub Oak show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 75°F, while July averages about 84°F and January highs sit near 37°F. The loop makes an easy pairing with other outings in the area. The Red Path and Blue Path mountain biking routes are each about a mile away, and the White Path is also within a mile. For climbing, Rocky Glen Pond is about 4.7 miles off.
