Red Loop is a 1.65-mile loop hike in Angle Fly Preserve, a city-managed preserve in New York. The trail rises from about 478 feet to a high point of 547 feet, with a total elevation gain of 211 feet, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.79 miles in, where the grade reaches 9 percent. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. The hike takes about half an hour, and the loop makes it easy to pair with other short routes in the preserve. Yellow Loop and Blue Trail both start within about 0.2 miles. Tea Town Boulders, a climbing area, is about 7 miles away, and the Croton River offers paddling roughly 9.5 miles off.
