Reeves Brook Trail is a 1.55-mile hike in Harriman State Park in New York, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is rated easy, and the route is a point-to-point path that starts at about 1,061 feet and climbs to 1,086 feet before descending to a low of 451 feet. The climb is back-loaded, with the most elevation gain coming in the second half of the hike. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Wanaque Raymond Dam, New Jersey, show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The trail is not open to bikes or horses. Raccoon Brook Hills Trail is just 0.3 miles away, and Stony Brook and the Hillburn-Torne Sebago Trail are both within a mile. Climbers can find Radical Books about 1.3 miles off.
