Lime Kiln Lake - Cedar River Road.
This 0.1-mile connector links Lime Kiln Lake to Cedar River Road in the west-central Adirondacks, likely serving as a brief access point between the lake and the roadway. Given the minimal distance, it's essentially a short walk rather than a hike—more utility than destination. Expect quick passage through woods or shoreline, useful primarily for anglers or paddlers reaching the water.
