Latham Trail.
Latham Trail is a short 0.3-mile connector in the Adirondacks, brief enough for a quick out-and-back or as part of a longer route. At half a kilometer, it's more of a leg-stretcher than a destination in itself. Check local trail maps to confirm which networks or access points it links, as short trails like this often serve specific junctions.
