A 2.4-kilometer route in the Lake Wanita Network, the Power House Trail offers a relatively brief walk through mixed Adirondack woodland. The path is reported to follow terrain that varies from level stretches to modest grades, making it suitable for those seeking a shorter outing without committing to a full-day trek. Though the trail's name suggests historical infrastructure nearby, hikers today will find a quiet corridor through second-growth forest where the characteristic sounds of thrushes and warblers often mark the canopy in warmer months.
Power House Trail runs 1.5 miles (2.4 km) with about 62 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, nearly level throughout, about 45 minutes on the trail.
