Marshall Trail

A brief, unmarked passage through the Adirondack backcountry, this route spans just under a kilometer and demands careful attention to terrain and landmarks in the absence of blazes or signage. The trail is said to offer a more intimate encounter with the forest for those comfortable navigating by map and natural features alone. Though short, the lack of markers makes it suited to hikers with some orienteering experience rather than casual walkers.
