Nys Snowmobile Corridor 7B

Nys Snowmobile Corridor 7B is a short, easy out-and-back hike in Featherstonhaugh State Forest in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The route is about 1.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 71 feet, and it is rated easy. The trail is nearly flat, with the steepest stretch at about 0.17 miles in, where the grade reaches 3 percent. The high point is 1,331 feet, and the low point is 1,307 feet, so the climb is gentle and the return is just as easy. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Delanson show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 81°F. That station sits roughly 350 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. The X-C Ski Trail (Yellow) lies just 0.2 miles away, and the Yellow Trail and Blue Trail are each about 1.2 miles off. The North Rim Trail is about 4.2 miles away.
