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.
Lake Lila Access is a short 1.1-mile connector providing entry to one of the largest wilderness lakes in the Adirondacks. The trail serves primarily as a gateway route rather than a destination hike, linking road access to the shoreline and surrounding trail network. At just under 2 kilometers, it's brief enough for a quick approach to paddling or further backcountry exploration.
Lake Lila Access Road runs 1.3 miles into one of the Adirondacks' more remote corner pockets, serving as the main artery to Lake Lila, the largest lake in the park without road access to its shore. The route is wide and relatively flat, built to handle seasonal maintenance traffic, making it suitable for skis in winter or a quick walk to the trailhead in warmer months. Most hikers treat this as a connector rather than a destination, using it to reach the lake or the longer trails beyond.
Lake Lila Access Road is a short, 1.2-mile route providing vehicle or foot access into the Lake Lila area, one of the largest lakes in the Adirondack wilderness. The road is typically flat and straightforward, suitable for shuttling gear to the water's edge or beginning a longer backcountry trip. Expect a dirt or gravel surface maintained for basic access rather than scenic walking.
This 3-mile connector runs between Lime Kiln Lake and Cedar River Road in the central Adirondacks, linking two points of access in relatively remote country. The route serves primarily as a through-trail rather than a destination hike, useful for longer loop configurations or shuttle arrangements. Expect moderate terrain typical of lower-elevation Adirondack woods, with the length making it manageable as part of a half-day outing.
A relatively short woodland walk of 3.92 kilometers, this trail winds through mixed forest to reach a quiet backcountry pond that rewards the modest effort with solitude and stillness. The path is reported to follow a small stream for portions of its length, crossing terrain gentle enough for contemplative walking yet varied enough to hold interest. Birdwatchers often find the corridor productive, and the pond itself may offer fishing under current NYSDEC regulations, though the chief appeal here is the sense of removal from more heavily trafficked destinations.
This half-mile connector branches from the main Lost Pond Trail system, offering a short alternative route through the forest. At 0.5 miles, it's brief enough to explore as a detour or link between other trails in the network. Expect standard Adirondack footpath conditions—roots, moderate grade changes, and minimal markings typical of secondary spurs.
Lost Ponds Road is a short 0.3-mile connector in the Adirondack backcountry. The brief distance suggests it links a trailhead or parking area to a longer network or feature, though the "road" designation can mean anything from old logging track to seasonal-use lane. Expect easy walking, but verify current conditions and connections before heading out.
