The Lake Arnold Trail is open and passable.
Source: NYS DEC · last updated 15 hours ago
A moderate woodland route of roughly 4.7 kilometers, this blue-disk-blazed trail leads through quiet Adirondack terrain to its namesake backcountry lake. Maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the path offers a measured immersion into the region's forested interior, where the rewards are solitude and the subtle pleasures of a landscape little changed by human passage. The trail is reported to provide access to primitive camping opportunities near the lake's shores, though hikers should verify current regulations before planning an overnight stay.
