Pillsbury Lake-Cedar Lakes Trail

This 1.1-mile connector links Pillsbury Lake to the Cedar Lakes in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness, one of the most remote stretches of the Adirondack Park. The trail serves primarily as a backcountry route between two notable water bodies for multi-day trips rather than a destination itself. Expect minimal traffic and primitive conditions typical of wilderness area trails far from trailheads.
