Mullins Flow Road.
Mullins Flow Road is a short, 0.6-mile route in the Adirondacks, likely following an old access road or woods path. At under a mile, it's brief enough for a quick leg-stretcher or connector between longer trails. Check current conditions and access points locally, as short seasonal roads can vary in maintenance and trailhead signage.
