Blue Trail
The Blue Trail at Two Rivers State Park in Waverly, New York is an easy 1-mile one-way trail that meanders through the woods passing through pine forests and adjacent to Dry Brook.The trailhead begins along the yellow blazed trail, approximately less than 0.1-miles from the parking lot. There are no signs for this trail other than the small circle blue blazes nailed to the trees (as of January 2021).
The trail will slowly make its way downhill, but within the first 0.1-miles on the trail is a beautiful pine forest that was clearly planted by people. The trees may be 30+ years-old or older, but the scenery within this section of the hike is unlike other forests since the trees are standing in perfect rows.
The trail eventually starts to head downhill more - and during wet months, the trail can be similar to that of a shallow creek. Its best to bring waterproof footwear on this trail unless (likely) during mid-Summer.
Around half-way through the hike, the trail will come to a hairpin turn. Here, the trail will start to run adjacent to, but uphill from, Dry Brook - the creek that flows southward below. From the trail, the hiker can get a decent view of the creek, especially during months when no leaves are on the trees.
Finally, at mile 1 - or just shy of 1 mile - the hiker will reach the end of this trail. At the end of this trail, the hiker is now on the yellow blazed trail. From here, there are plenty of options to continue hiking. One option, to head back to parking, is following the Orange Trail.
