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.
Ladies-East River Link Trail is a short connector between the Ladies-Delight Trail and the East River Trail in the Ferris Lake Wild Forest. It provides a through-hiking option for loops in the area but is lightly maintained — check local conditions before relying on it for navigation.
Ladies Mile Link Trail is a short connector in the trail network — length unrecorded. It joins two named routes; hikers use it to complete loops or avoid backtracking on longer outings.
Ladies Mile Trail is a half-mile path maintained for gentle foot travel. Short enough for a quick walk; named from an earlier era when the route served as a carriage path for women visitors.
Lean On Me is a short purple-marked trail covering 0.9 miles through what's likely a trail network where color-coded routes are standard. Without verifiable details on location or terrain, it's difficult to say much beyond the basics: this is brief enough for a quick out-and-back or connector between longer segments. The playful name suggests it may involve some assistance-worthy terrain, though that remains speculation without confirmed route information.
Lee Lane is a 0.2-mile connector or access route in the Adirondack Park. At roughly 1,000 feet, it's the kind of brief segment that typically links a trailhead to a main trail system or provides neighborhood access to a larger network. Its short length makes it a minor piece of infrastructure rather than a destination in itself.
Leepoff Loop is a short 1-mile circuit maintained by the ADK Trail Improvement Society and documented through their beta trails network. At just over a mile, it offers a quick out-and-back experience suitable for an evening walk or a warm-up loop. Check betatrails.org for current conditions and any seasonal access notes before heading out.
This 1.7-mile trail leads to Lewis Clearing Bay on Osgood Pond, a quiet stretch of shoreline in the St. Regis Canoe Area. The route is relatively short and suitable for a quick out-and-back to access the water. Expect a woodland walk that ends at the bay, where paddlers often launch or beach their canoes.
This unmarked connector runs three-quarters of a kilometer through the Lake Winebrook network, offering a shortcut for hikers comfortable navigating without blazes. The trail's chief virtue is efficiency rather than scenery, linking established routes for those who know the terrain or carry adequate navigation tools. Travelers should be prepared for the demands of unblazed travel, where attention to topography and a sense of direction matter more than following painted marks.
This unmarked route through the backcountry extends roughly 2.6 kilometers and demands navigational confidence from those who venture along it. Without blazes or formal signage to guide the way, the trail rewards hikers who possess a practiced eye for terrain and a comfort with route-finding in wild country. The absence of markers, rather than presenting mere difficulty, offers a quieter immersion into landscape—one that unfolds according to the hiker's own attention rather than the dictates of painted symbols.
Lillypad Pond Trail is a 0.1-mile path — short enough to walk in minutes. Used as a connector or quick pond access; conditions and maintenance vary.
Winding through forested terrain to a pair of modest summits, this trail offers a relatively brief excursion into the backcountry, covering just under three kilometers one way. Marked by red disks and maintained by the NYSDEC, the route is reported to provide open ledges and views that reward the moderate effort required. The path's compact length makes it suitable for a half-day outing, though the ascent to both Crow peaks involves enough elevation change to feel earned rather than casual.
Little Crow Loop is a 0.3-mile trail near the base of Crow Mountain — a short walk through mixed forest, often used as a warm-up or cool-down by climbers tackling the larger summit. The loop is easy terrain and takes under fifteen minutes to complete.
A red-disk-marked route of roughly 8.5 kilometers, this trail once provided access to Little Porter Mountain through land managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The route has been closed to public use since late May 2018, when the private landowner whose property lies below the mountain withdrew permission for hikers to cross. What had been a recognized approach to the summit now remains off-limits, its status unchanged in the years since the closure took effect.
The Lollipop covers just 0.3 miles, making it one of the shortest named routes in the park—likely a connector or interpretive loop rather than a destination trail. At under half a kilometer, it's brief enough for young hikers or a quick leg-stretcher between longer objectives. Check local trail maps or the managing land steward for current conditions and access points.
Lost Cabin is a short 0.3-mile trail in the Adirondacks, brief enough for a quick leg-stretcher or side excursion. The name suggests a historical structure or site along the route, though specifics depend on the particular network or region it belongs to. Its minimal distance makes it accessible for most hikers looking to explore a small piece of backcountry without committing to a longer trek.
Lost Farm is a short 0.6-mile trail documented in the betatrails.org network. The name suggests historical farmstead roots, common in areas where agricultural clearings have returned to forest. At under a mile, it's a brief outing suited for connecting routes or quick exploration.
A gentle loop of just under two kilometers, this red-disk-marked trail winds through mature Adirondack forest to what is reported to be a modest summit overlook. Maintained by ATIS, the route ascends gradually and offers—despite its name suggesting abandonment or obscurity—a quiet vantage for contemplation. The trail serves well as an introduction to the region's wooded character, its understated destination rewarding those who seek solitude over spectacle.
Lower Blue Pot runs just under half a mile through the Blue Ledges area south of Hudson Gorge, part of a network of short paths linking to swimming holes along the Indian River. The trail accesses one of several deep pools carved into blue-tinted anorthosite bedrock. Expect a well-worn but rocky path; river shoes or sandals help if you plan to wade.
Lower Currey runs just over half a mile through what appears to be a shorter connector or access route in the network. At 0.7 miles, it's brief enough for a quick out-and-back or a link between longer segments. Check local trail maps for current conditions and junction details before heading out.
Lower Liberty runs just over half a mile through terrain characteristic of the region's lower-elevation trail networks. At 0.7 miles, it's brief enough to serve as a connector or warm-up segment, though the name suggests it may link to other routes in a Liberty-themed system. Expect standard Adirondack footpath conditions—roots, rocks, and variable footing depending on season.
Lower Trail runs just over half a mile through terrain that likely serves as an access route or connector within a larger trail network. At 0.6 miles, it's short enough for a quick out-and-back or a link between longer segments. The name suggests it parallels or diverges from a corresponding upper route, though specific junctions aren't documented here.
Lower Traverse (Dark Green) runs 1.4 miles through what appears to be a trail network using color-coded designations. The dark green marker suggests a more challenging option among the system's offerings, though without verified elevation data or network details, the precise difficulty remains general knowledge. Best to check with the managing organization for current conditions and how this traverse connects to other routes in the area.
Lush is a 0.2-mile connector trail that likely serves as a short link between other segments in the network. At roughly five minutes of walking, it functions more as a passage than a destination. Its brevity makes it useful for rerouting or accessing longer routes without adding significant mileage.
Lynch Mt Road is a short 0.3-mile connector in the southern Adirondacks, likely following an old roadbed or logging track given its name. Roads like this often serve as access routes to private land or link into larger trail networks, though public access and current condition can vary. Worth verifying current status and connections before planning a visit.
