Bear Slides Trail

Bear Slides Trail covers a mile of walking through Adirondack terrain, short enough for a quick out-and-back or leg of a longer route. The name suggests water-polished rock features, though conditions and visibility depend on recent rainfall and seasonal flow. At 1.6 kilometers, it's an hour or less of hiking for most parties.
