Dante's trail is a short mountain biking route in New York, about 0.2 miles from the nearest town, Fort Niagara Beach. It is an out-and-back ride of about 0.4 miles, with a total climb of 43 feet and a steepest grade of about 3% near the start. The trail is rated moderate. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Youngstown run to highs around 83°F in July, with September still near 74°F. That station sits about 290 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Several other mountain biking routes lie close by. Third Floor is about 0.1 mile away, and J-Train and The Narrow are each about 0.2 mile off. Stage One is roughly 0.3 mile away.
