Adirondack Rail Trail

The Adirondack Rail Trail is a short, 0.9-mile segment of the larger rail-trail network that follows former railroad corridors through the central Adirondacks. Expect flat, accessible terrain suitable for walking or biking, typical of converted rail grades. This brief section likely serves as a connector or trailhead access point within the broader multi-use trail system.
