Raquette Falls Trail.
The Raquette Falls Trail leads to a notable waterfall along the Raquette River in the northern Adirondacks, accessible from the Coreys Road area. This route is part of the traditional canoe-carry network connecting the Raquette River drainage, though it's also walked as a destination hike to the falls themselves.
