2,611 named trails across 6,101 miles of mapped centerlines — every state-managed corridor and community-mapped path in the Adirondack Park, cross- referenced with trailheads, lean-tos, parking, and the peaks they climb. Use the map to get your bearings, then narrow the list by region, operator, or what the trail reaches.
This 2.9-mile trail network runs through Ausable Acres, a private residential community near the East Branch Ausable River. Access is restricted to residents and their guests, making it one of several private trail systems in the broader Lake Placid area. The trails serve primarily as recreational paths within the development rather than backcountry routes.
Ausable Branch runs 1.5 miles through the northeastern Adirondacks, likely following or connecting to the Ausable River drainage system that defines much of this region's trail network. The relatively short distance suggests a connector route or access trail rather than a destination hike in itself. Check current conditions before heading out, as trails near active waterways can be prone to seasonal flooding or washouts.
Carving a path through one of the High Peaks' most dramatic corridors, this yellow-blazed route extends nearly six kilometers between Adirondack Loj and Lake Colden, threading between the sheer walls of Mount Colden and Avalanche Mountain. The trail is known for its striking passage along Avalanche Lake, where wooden walkways cling to cliffsides above cold water, and for the massive talus fields that testify to centuries of rockfall. Maintained by the state, the route forms a critical link in the network of backcountry trails connecting the region's most remote waters and highest summits. Though relatively short, the terrain demands attention—the footing is often rough, and conditions can shift quickly in the narrow pass.
Axton Landing is a short 0.3-mile connector in the western High Peaks region, historically used to access the Upper Works area and Cold River country. The brief walk links older logging roads and provides quick access to the Axton Landing site on the Cold River. Given its length, it's typically used as part of a longer route rather than a standalone hike.
Axton Landing Road is a short 0.3-mile connector in the western High Peaks region, historically part of the old road network serving the Adirondack Mountain Reserve and Cold River country. The brief route typically serves as an access spur rather than a destination trail, linking to longer backcountry routes toward the Cold River drainage. Expect firm footing and minimal elevation change over the half-kilometer distance.
