Adirondack Rail Trail

This 0.2-mile segment of the Adirondack Rail Trail follows the converted Remsen-Lake Placid railroad corridor, part of a larger multi-use path network spanning the central Adirondacks. The rail-trail system is known for its gentle grades and crushed-stone surface, accessible to cyclists, walkers, and in winter, cross-country skiers. At just under a third of a kilometer, this section likely connects neighboring trailheads or community access points along the route.
