Horseshoe Lake Wild Forest

This very short trail provides access to Horseshoe Lake Wild Forest, covering just a tenth of a mile. Given the minimal distance, it likely serves as a connector or parking area approach rather than a destination hike in itself. Check with the DEC or local ranger station for current conditions and to clarify which trailhead or access point this segment serves.
