Six Mile Creek Trail.
Six Mile Creek Trail covers less than half a mile in the Adirondack Park, making it one of the shorter named routes in the region. The trail likely follows or accesses Six Mile Creek drainage, though specifics about terrain and destination aren't well documented in available references. At 0.4 miles, it's brief enough for a quick out-and-back or may serve as a connector to a longer network.
