Power House Trail

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.
