Porter Ridge Trail

Winding through varied terrain for just over eleven kilometers, this yellow-blazed route offers a sustained traverse of the northern Adirondacks under state management. The trail is reported to follow ridgeline contours and forested slopes, marked throughout by yellow disks that guide hikers across what can be demanding ground. Those prepared for a full day's walk will find the path delivers a thorough immersion in the region's characteristic mix of hardwood and coniferous forest, with elevation changes that reward effort with occasional long views.
