Dobbs Access Road.
This short connector runs just a tenth of a mile, likely providing access to a trailhead or parking area rather than serving as a destination trail itself. Roads like this are common throughout the Adirondacks, bridging public highways and actual hiking routes. Check local maps or postings at the road's entrance for information on what trails it connects to.
