Ryan's Point Trail is a short, easy hike on County Of Monroe Land in New York, about 0.45 miles long with a total elevation gain of 23 feet. The trail is a point-to-point route that rises to a high point of 318 feet and drops to a low of 285 feet, with the steepest part at about 0.39 miles in and a grade of roughly 4 percent. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Webster run to highs around 68°F in May and 73°F in September, with snow days common from December through March. That station sits a few feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the high point may run slightly cooler. The trail pairs easily with other routes in the area. Ridge Trail and Orchard Trail are both about 0.2 miles away, and Valley View Trail is close by as well. Webster Park Ski Trail, also about 0.2 miles off, offers cross-country skiing.
