Laurel Trail is a short, easy loop hike in New York, about 1.6 miles from Bedford Four Corners. The trail is 0.46 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 112 feet and a total loss of 122 feet, so it's a low-impact outing that works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before exploring more of the area. The route is a loop, and the steepest part comes at about 0.21 miles in, with a grade of 15 percent. Bikes and horses are not allowed on the trail. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets.

Veery Trail is about 0.1 mile away, and Fox Run Trail and Hemlock Trail are each about 0.2 mile off. Westmoreland Sanctuary, a climbing area, is about 0.4 mile away.
