A yellow-blazed route managed by the Lake George Land Conservancy, this trail extends nearly five kilometers through what is reported to be varied and quietly appealing terrain. The path, which follows yellow disc markers throughout, offers a moderately sustained walk well-suited to those seeking a less-traveled corridor in the southern Adirondack uplands. Maintenance is said to be consistent, and the route's length—just over three miles—makes it accessible as either a leisurely half-day outing or a brisk morning traverse.
Richard Hayes Phillips Trail runs 2.6 miles (4.2 km) with about 1,080 feet of elevation gain — a moderate hike, with a moderate, steady climb, about 2 hours on the trail. Lake George Land Conservancy maintains the route.
