Slide Brook Trail

An unmarked path through the Adirondack backcountry, this route stretches roughly 2.6 kilometers and is said to follow Slide Brook through terrain that rewards careful navigation. The complete absence of blazes or formal markers makes it a choice for experienced hikers comfortable with map and compass work rather than those seeking a maintained corridor. What the trail may lack in infrastructure it is reported to offer in solitude, threading through forest that sees relatively light traffic even during the busier months of the hiking season.
