Adirondack Rail Trail

This short 0.6-mile segment of the Adirondack Rail Trail follows the converted railroad corridor that once carried passengers and freight through the region. The flat, wide rail bed makes it accessible year-round for walking, cycling, and skiing, typical of the longer multi-use trail system it belongs to. Check local signage for connections to adjacent segments and seasonal surface conditions.
