The Jackrabbit Trail is a 1.8-mile cross-country ski and hiking route connecting Paul Smiths to Keene, part of a larger 34-mile corridor. The trail is groomed in winter for Nordic skiing; summer hikers share the path with bikers on wide, rolling terrain.
Jackrabbit Trail runs 1.8 miles (2.9 km) with about 194 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 60 minutes on the trail. It is also open to Nordic skiing in winter.
