A red-disk-marked trail under NYSDEC management, this route extends approximately 4.5 kilometers through verdant Adirondack backcountry where moss-clad boulders and fallen timber frame a series of small cascades. The path is reported to follow a modest watercourse for much of its length, the gradient gentle enough that hikers spend more time admiring the saturated greens of the forest floor than negotiating steep pitches. Though the cascades themselves are often modest in scale, the cumulative effect—water, moss, and filtered light—offers a study in the quieter textures of the northern forest.
