Moss Lake Trail

This short 0.4-mile route leads to Moss Lake, a small body of water tucked in the woods near the southern boundary of the Adirondack Park. The trail is brief enough for families and casual walkers, making it an accessible option when longer routes aren't in the cards. Expect an easy walk on relatively level terrain, suitable for a quick out-and-back in under an hour.
