A path of roughly five kilometers maintained by the NYSDEC, this trail threads through the Lake Placid Watershed Network and is marked by red circular blazes. The route is reported to offer access to Connery Pond and surrounding forest, the sort of quiet water and mixed woodland that characterizes much of the northern Adirondacks. Hikers often find the terrain gentle and the setting conducive to contemplative walking, though conditions naturally vary with season and weather.
Connery Pond Trail runs 3.3 miles (5.2 km) with about 488 feet of elevation gain — a moderate hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 1 h 45 min on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
