Adirondack Rail Trail

The Adirondack Rail Trail is a 1.5-mile converted rail corridor, part of a larger multi-use pathway being developed across the region. The flat, wide grade makes it accessible year-round for walking, cycling, and in winter, cross-country skiing. Expect gentle terrain typical of former railroad beds—minimal elevation change and a surface that varies by section.
