Indian Falls- Lake Arnold Crossover Trail

A brief connector maintained by the NYSDEC, this 1.19-kilometer path links the vicinity of Indian Falls with the shores of Lake Arnold, marked throughout by yellow circular blazes. The trail serves primarily as a functional segment within the larger trail network, though it offers the varied forest character typical of the region. Hikers often use it to stitch together longer routes rather than as a destination in itself.
