Hunters Pass Trail

A significant passage through the Adirondack landscape, Hunters Pass Trail offers hikers a journey of roughly ten and a half kilometers marked by red disk blazes. Maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the route is reported to traverse terrain that rewards those willing to commit to its full length. The trail's name suggests historical use as a hunting corridor, though the pass today serves primarily as a backcountry hiking route through what is often rugged and remote country.
