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.
This short trail covers less than a mile, making it an accessible option for a quick outing or for hikers looking to sample terrain without a major time commitment. At 0.7 miles one-way, it's brief enough for families or as a leg-stretcher between longer routes. Check locally for current trailhead access and whether this is a standalone path or connects to a larger network.
This ungroomed connector links East Mountain and High Notch in what appears to be a cross-country ski trail network, though no length data is currently available. The "ungroomed" designation suggests backcountry skiing or snowshoeing conditions, likely maintained by skier traffic rather than mechanical grooming. Expect variable snow conditions and trail-finding skills if you're venturing between these two points in winter.
East Mountain Cutoff is a very short connector trail, measuring roughly 500 feet. Its name suggests it links two points on or near East Mountain, likely providing a shortcut between longer routes in the area. Given its brevity, it's most useful as a tactical link for loop-building rather than a destination in itself.
East Mountain Loop is a short 0.9-mile circuit that offers a quick loop experience without committing to a long day. The modest distance makes it accessible for families or as a warm-up hike, though terrain and elevation gain remain unspecified in available records. Expect the loop to take under an hour at a moderate pace.
A substantial backcountry route under NYSDEC management, this trail runs nearly fifteen kilometers through remote terrain, serving as a key artery in the region's trail network. Yellow disk markers guide hikers to the East River and Allen Mountain junction, where the blazes shift to red for the continuation toward Flowed Lands. The length and remoteness make it a commitment suited to experienced hikers comfortable with extended wilderness travel.
Easy Street runs just under a third of a mile, making it one of the shortest named routes in the park. The name suggests gentle terrain, likely suitable for a quick leg-stretcher or connecting segment between other trails. At this length, it's over in minutes — check local maps for what it links to.
The Erratic Trail covers less than a mile through terrain that likely takes its name from glacial erratics — boulders left behind by retreating ice sheets thousands of years ago. At 0.8 miles one-way, it's a quick walk suitable for a morning or afternoon outing. Expect a relatively easy grade given the short distance, though specific difficulty details aren't widely documented.
A singular path spanning approximately 1.6 kilometers, the Esther Trail presents a distinct challenge to those who seek its route through the high peaks wilderness. The way is unmarked—no blazes, no symbols—and demands that hikers navigate by map, compass, and familiarity with the terrain. What begins as a discernible footpath is reported to fade in places, testing both route-finding skill and commitment. The trail serves those bound for Esther Mountain, though the ascent rewards self-reliance more than it offers reassurance.
