A loop winding through mixed forest and wetland, this trail traces the shores of its namesake lake in terrain that typifies the western Adirondacks. The route extends just over five kilometers and is reported to offer intermittent water views where the canopy opens. Footing varies from needle-cushioned stretches to sections that often hold moisture in the shoulder seasons, and the path itself remains lightly traveled enough that solitude is more common than not.
Sagamore Lake Trail runs 3.3 miles (5.3 km) with about 357 feet of elevation gain — a moderate hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 1 h 45 min on the trail.
