§ Field Notes
About John Dillon Park.
This park, managed by Paul Smith's College, is known for its commitment to inclusive outdoor access in the Adirondack Mountains. It was designed to provide an unforgettable experience for all visitors, particularly people with disabilities, their families, and caregivers.
When operational, the park features a 3.5-mile trail system, offering opportunities for camping, fishing, and hiking. All facilities and activities are specifically designed to be accessible, ensuring a welcoming environment for a diverse range of visitors.
Please note that John Dillon Park will not open for the summer 2026 season. Paul Smith’s College has announced this temporary pause to complete required improvements to the park’s potable water system. The College is undertaking a thorough review of long-term solutions to ensure the continued stewardship of the park's founding vision.
