Fowler's Crossing Trailhead & Parking

The Adirondack Rail Trail spans 34 miles, connecting the communities of Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, and Tupper Lake. This multipurpose trail is open year-round, accommodating users of all ages and abilities for healthy exercise, enjoying nature, and exploring Adirondack history. The trail is managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC). The Adirondack Rail Trail Association (ARTA), a not-for-profit organization, collaborates with NYS DEC to support trail maintenance and enhance amenities. Visitors can use the official website to access trail maps, find parking areas, and plan their adventure, including details on communities along the route. The website also provides information about ongoing projects, such as the new trailhead construction in Lake Placid, which will offer facilities like bathrooms and picnic areas. Parking updates for specific sections, like the temporary closure of the Station St Lake Placid parking area, are shared to assist with trip planning.
