2,251 named trails across 6,238 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.
Barney Pond Road runs 2.6 miles through the northwestern Adirondacks, likely serving as a woods road or connector rather than a maintained footpath. The length suggests a moderate out-and-back walk or through-hike if linked to other routes. Check current conditions and access status before heading out, as many Adirondack roads shift between active logging use and public recreation.
Bartlett Carry Road is a short 0.7-mile route in the Adirondacks, likely following a historic portage path between bodies of water — "carry" being the traditional term for such connectors. At just over a mile round-trip, it's a quick walk suitable for most hikers. The road surface suggests easier footing than a backcountry footpath, making it accessible even in shoulder seasons.
Winding through just under seven kilometers of Adirondack terrain, this trail within the Lake Wilderness Network is reported to offer the kind of varied topography that rewards patient observation. The route's moderate length makes it accessible to hikers seeking a half-day immersion in the region's forested character, though the ascent—if the name is any indication—likely demands steady effort. Along its course, the path is said to reveal intermittent views across the surrounding wilderness, the sort of earned vistas that arrive after sustained climbing through northern hardwood and conifer stands.
Benson Mines is a short 1.0-mile trail likely following remnants of the historic iron mining operations that once dominated this corner of the northwest Adirondacks. The route offers a quick walk through second-growth forest recovering from industrial-era extraction, with possible traces of old roads or rail grades underfoot. A good option for a brief leg-stretch if you're exploring the Star Lake area's industrial heritage.
This short connector in the Star Lake area links the historic Benson Mines industrial corridor with Newton Falls Road, covering just a tenth of a mile. The route follows what was once part of the extensive railroad and road network serving the defunct Benson Mines operation, now absorbed into the surrounding woodland. It's more of a functional link between two larger routes than a destination in itself.
Benz Pond Road runs 1.8 miles through the eastern Adirondacks, likely following an old logging or access route given its name and maintained character. The gentle grade and road-width tread make it accessible for hikers of varying abilities, typical of former woods roads that now serve as recreational corridors. Check local maps for current trailhead access and whether the route connects to nearby trail networks or dead-ends at the pond itself.
Big Pine Trail is a short 0.8-mile route that fits easily into a morning or afternoon outing. The brief distance makes it accessible for families or anyone looking for a quick forest walk without major elevation commitment. Check local resources for current trailhead access and whether it connects to longer networks in the area.
Bingo Road is a short 0.7-mile route in the Adirondacks, brief enough for a quick out-and-back or connector between longer segments. The name suggests a former logging or service road rather than a footpath, though current conditions may vary. At just over a kilometer, it's more of a leg-stretcher than a destination hike.
Black Rapids Branch runs 2.1 miles through what appears to be a lesser-traveled corridor in the region. The trail's name suggests a connection to water features or historic rapids, though details about its routing and current condition remain sparse in available records. Best to check locally for current access points and trail status before heading out.
Blue Canoe Portage is a brief 0.1-mile carry between two bodies of water, one of the shortest portages recorded in the Adirondack trail system. At roughly 500 feet, paddlers can expect to walk it in a matter of minutes even under a loaded canoe. The name suggests a designated or historically used route, though without additional network data, the specific water connections remain unverified.
Blue Trail is a very short connector at just 0.1 miles, likely serving as a link between trailheads, parking areas, or other marked routes. At this distance, it's more of a path segment than a destination hike. Expect it to take only a few minutes to walk end-to-end.
Brandy Brook Flow Trail runs 1.5 miles through terrain shaped by beaver activity and seasonal water levels. The route offers straightforward walking conditions suitable for most hikers, though wet sections are common depending on beaver dam maintenance and recent precipitation. Expect to encounter muddy stretches and possibly flooded zones during spring runoff or after heavy rain.
This short connector runs just half a kilometer, linking other routes rather than serving as a destination itself. The name suggests historical use for horse traffic, though current conditions and allowed uses would need verification at the trailhead. At 0.3 miles, it's a quick link — worth knowing about if you're piecing together a longer loop in the area.
Burns Road is a very short route at just 0.3 miles, likely serving as a connector or access path rather than a destination trail. At this length, it's a quick walk of under ten minutes in either direction. Check local resources to confirm whether it links to longer trail systems or provides trailhead access.
This 3.5-mile trail leads to Burntbridge Pond, a backcountry destination in the Adirondacks that sees less traffic than the region's more prominent water bodies. The route is relatively short for a wilderness trek, making it accessible as a day hike for moderately experienced hikers. Expect typical Adirondack terrain—mixed forest, some wet sections, and gradual elevation changes on the approach to the pond.
Bush Road runs 4.8 miles through the Adirondack backcountry, likely following an old access route or logging corridor common to the region's working forest history. Without maintained trail markers or current condition reports, it's best suited for those comfortable navigating by map and comfortable with variable footing. Check with local outfitters or the DEC for current access points and seasonal usage patterns.
