Sitting Duck is a mountain biking spot in Blue Mountain Reservation County Park in New York, on county land. It sits at nearly the same elevation throughout, with the low and high points of the route both around 390 feet, so there is no climb to speak of. The trail is rated easy. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Shrub Oak show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 75°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. Several other trails start right next door. Blue Mountain Summit Trail and My Favorite Trail are each about 0.1 mile away, and Myx Monster is about 0.2 mile off. Climbers can find Blue Mountain Park about 0.7 mile away.
