Huffman Notch Trail

A backcountry corridor through the northern Adirondacks, this trail extends just over eleven kilometers through terrain that is said to move between hardwood forest and higher-elevation notch country. The route forms part of the broader network of long wilderness paths and is reported to offer solitude and a sense of remoteness that grows more pronounced as one moves deeper into the passage. Though not among the region's most celebrated walks, it rewards those who seek a quieter engagement with the park's forested interior.
