The Seaton Hiking Trail is a 7.6-mile point-to-point route in New York, with a moderate climb of about 630 feet from a low point of 337 feet to a high of 626 feet. The trail is open to bikes, and the nearest town is Sunset Beach, about 44 miles away. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Youngstown run to highs around 83°F in July and 74°F in September, and the station sits well below the trail, so temperatures up high run cooler. The trip takes about three hours. The Monarch Trail lies about 2.4 miles away, and the Rouge Valley Trail is about 5.4 miles off. The Waterfront Trail and Forest Therapy Trail are both within about 8 miles.
