Description
Marked by red blazes, the trail begins at the southern tip of Minnewaska Lake and dead ends into the Millbrook Ridge Trail (blue blazes). About 7/8 mile down the trail, Coxing Trail (blue blazes) tees in from the left. Coxing Kill is briefly visible approximately 3/4 mile from the trailhead as it makes its run across Millbrook Mountain. The end of the trail offers excellent views of the Wallkill Valley, as well as great bird watching.
