Beaver Run/Jack Rabbit

Beaver Run/Jack Rabbit is a half-mile connector that's part of the Jack Rabbit Trail network, the historic cross-country ski trail system linking Lake Placid to Keene and Paul Smiths. At this length, it likely serves as a short link between longer sections rather than a destination segment. The Jack Rabbit system dates to the 1986 Olympics and remains a winter mainstay, though some sections see summer foot traffic.
