Wiccopee Trail is a short, easy hike of about a mile in Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park in New York, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail runs from a low point of about 958 feet to a high of about 1,115 feet, with a total elevation gain of 139 feet. The climb is gentle, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.4 miles in, with a grade of about 7 percent. Bikes are allowed on the trail, so it works for both hikers and riders. The trip takes about half an hour, and the route is a point-to-point rather than a loop. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Stormville run to highs around 72°F in May and 74°F in September, with July the warmest month at about 83°F. Clove Creek Trail and Charcoal Burners Trail both start within about half a mile, and Perkins Trail is about 1.5 miles away. Climbers can find Cookie's Crag about 5 miles off.
