Orebed Brook Trail is a 2.7-mile point-to-point hike in New York's High Peaks Wilderness, managed by the State Department of Conservation. The route rises from about 2,440 feet to a high point of 4,023 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,621 feet. It is a moderate hike, and the climb is back-loaded, meaning the steepest part comes later in the route. The trail starts at a lower elevation of about 2,440 feet and ends at the high point of 4,023 feet. The climb is back-loaded, so the steeper stretch comes toward the end. The trail is not open to bikes or horses. The Short Job Trail begins just 0.1 mile away, and the Southside Trail and Woodsfall Trail are each about 0.6 mile off. Climbers can find the E: High Peaks Region climbing area about 1.1 mile away.
