Lakeside to Shelving Rock Trail

This short connector runs less than a mile between the Lakeside Trail and Shelving Rock Trail in the Lake George Wild Forest, linking two segments of the larger trail network along the lake's eastern shore. The route serves primarily as a utility link for through-hikers working their way along the shoreline trail system. At 0.8 miles, it's brief enough that most users treat it as part of a longer loop rather than a destination in itself.
