Long Pond Trail

A measured excursion through mixed Adirondack forest, this 5.14-kilometer trail is reported to lead toward the quiet waters for which it takes its name. The path winds through terrain that often alternates between hardwood stands and conifer groves, offering hikers a contemplative journey into the region's less-traveled backcountry. Those seeking solitude rather than dramatic elevation gain will find the route suited to a steady, observant pace.
