Barnum Brook Trail

A gentle loop through diverse woodland, this trail offers an accessible introduction to Adirondack forest ecosystems. Meandering for just over 1.7 kilometers, the path is reported to follow its namesake brook and often holds opportunities for wildlife observation in the streamside corridor. The relatively flat terrain makes it a suitable option for those seeking a tranquil and unhurried natural excursion, though conditions along the brook itself may vary seasonally.
