Millman Pond Trail

Managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and marked by yellow discs, this twelve-kilometer trail winds through a varied stretch of Adirondack backcountry that is reported to offer both solitude and a characteristic North Woods atmosphere. The route is often chosen by those seeking a full day's outing, threading through forest and terrain that typify the region's quieter corners. Though the trail's condition varies with season and maintenance cycles, it generally provides access to country less traveled than the High Peaks corridor.
