Jack Rabbit Trail

The Jack Rabbit Trail is a short 0.8-mile connector that's part of the historic Jackrabbit Trail network linking Lake Placid to Keene and beyond. At just over a kilometer, it likely serves as a short segment between larger nodes in the cross-country ski and hiking corridor. Check local trail maps for exact trailhead access and current conditions, as sections of the Jackrabbit system vary in maintenance and usage.
