The East River Trail crossing the Opalescent River before Allen Mtn Trail Junction and also outlet of Flowed Lands
Source: NYS DEC · last updated 14 hours ago
A substantial backcountry route under NYSDEC management, this trail runs nearly fifteen kilometers through remote terrain, serving as a key artery in the region's trail network. Yellow disk markers guide hikers to the East River and Allen Mountain junction, where the blazes shift to red for the continuation toward Flowed Lands. The length and remoteness make it a commitment suited to experienced hikers comfortable with extended wilderness travel.
