Little Doe Trail is a short cross-country ski route in Harriman State Park in New York, managed by State Park and Recreation. It is an out-and-back trail that starts and ends at about 940 feet, reaches a high point of 1,084 feet and has a total elevation gain and loss of about 220 feet over a round trip of about a mile. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at roughly 18% grade about a third of the way in. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 35°F with lows near 17°F, while February is a little milder with highs around 39°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The trail is close to several other ski routes. Ski Trail lies about 0.4 miles away and Conklin Track about 0.6 miles. Pine Meadow Road, a hiking route, is about 0.7 miles off. Climbers can find Harriman State Park about 2 miles away.
