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.
The Jackrabbit Trail runs 3.7 miles through the Adirondacks as part of the historic 88-mile Jackrabbit Trail network linking Lake Placid to Paul Smiths and beyond. Named for pioneering cross-country skier Herman "Jackrabbit" Johannsen, this section sees year-round use on moderate terrain suitable for hiking boots. The trail's maintained by volunteers and connects several communities across the northern Adirondacks, making it a key segment in a much longer backcountry corridor.
Jenkins Mountain Road is a short 0.2-mile connector within the Paul Smith's VIC trail network. At roughly 1,000 feet, it likely serves as a linking segment between longer routes rather than a destination trail of its own. Check the VIC trail map for current junction details and how it fits into a longer loop.
Jenkins Mountain Trail covers 2.1 miles through the Paul Smiths VIC trail network, a moderate-length out-and-back or loop depending on routing. The blue-blazed path threads through mixed northern forest typical of the western Adirondacks, offering a half-day option for hikers looking to explore the VIC's backcountry without committing to the longer routes. Check trail conditions and current blazing at the Paul Smiths Visitor Interpretive Center before heading out.
Jones Pond Road is a short 0.3-mile connector in the Adirondacks, brief enough to link trailheads or access points without requiring any real time commitment. The name suggests a destination or approach to Jones Pond, though the segment itself is over quickly. At this length, it's more of a utilitarian link than a standalone outing.
Jump line is a tenth-mile mountain bike feature trail, the kind of short spur built for progression on technical elements rather than distance. Riders typically session these repeatedly to dial in skills before linking them into longer rides. Expect a quick, purposeful line with constructed jumps or drops.
