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.
Baldwin Branch is a tenth-of-a-mile connector in the trail network, essentially a junction link rather than a destination route. At this length, it's a brief passage between longer trails or access points. Expect it to serve a functional role in your route rather than offer extended hiking.
The Bass Lake trail covers 2.4 miles through terrain that's manageable for most hikers looking for a short outing. At 3.8 kilometers round-trip, it's compact enough for a morning or afternoon walk without requiring serious planning. The distance puts it in the half-day range, suitable for families or anyone after a quick escape into the woods.
Bear Pond Trail runs 2.7 miles through the Adirondack backcountry, offering a moderate distance suitable for a half-day outing. The route leads to its namesake pond, a destination that draws hikers looking for a quieter alternative to more trafficked water bodies in the region. Expect typical North Country terrain—mixed hardwoods, occasional wetland crossings, and the kind of footing that rewards a good pair of boots.
A significant excursion through varied Adirondack terrain, this nearly fifteen-kilometer route maintained by the NYSDEC is reported to guide hikers through mixed forest and wetland before reaching its namesake pond. The trail often rewards those willing to commit to the distance with a sense of immersion in backcountry quiet, though conditions along the way—particularly through the wetter sections—can vary considerably with season and recent weather. For anglers who make the journey, Berrymill Pond itself is said to offer modest fishing opportunities, and current NYSDEC regulations apply.
Birchwood Drive is a very short 0.2-mile connector in the Adirondack Park, likely following or providing access along a residential or backcountry road corridor. At roughly a third of a kilometer, it's more of a brief link than a destination hike—useful for completing a loop or reaching a trailhead from nearby access points. Check local maps for current conditions and whether it's part of a larger trail network.
This short interpretive path circles Bloody Pond, a small body of water just off Route 9 near Lake George Village, named for its association with the 1755 Battle of Lake George. The half-mile loop is flat and accessible, suitable for families and history buffs looking for a quick stop. Interpretive signage around the pond explains the colonial-era events that gave the site its grim name.
This short loop near Olmstedville covers just under two miles of terrain, making it an accessible option for a quick morning or afternoon outing. The trail's name suggests ledge outcrops along the route, typical of the eastern Adirondack landscape where exposed bedrock frequently punctuates forested sections. At 1.7 kilometers, it's brief enough to fit between other plans or serve as a warm-up hike.
This 1.3-mile trail leads to an overlook above the hamlet of Wells, offering views across the southern Adirondacks without the commitment of a longer climb. The route gains elevation steadily through mixed forest before emerging onto open ledges. It's a popular choice for a quick afternoon hike when you want elevation and exposure in under an hour.
