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.
Mackin Road is a short 0.7-mile route in the Adirondacks, brief enough for a quick out-and-back or connector between longer trails. The name suggests it follows or traces an old roadbed, a common pattern in this region where former logging and settlement roads now serve as recreational paths. At just over a mile round trip, it's an easy walk suitable for anyone looking to stretch their legs without committing to a longer distance.
McCarthy Truck Trail runs 1.6 miles through the Adirondacks as a former woods road, now narrowed by regrowth but still retaining its wide, gradual character. The relatively flat grade and short distance make it accessible for most hikers, though seasonal wetness and overgrown sections are common on these old logging corridors. Check local trail resources for current access points and whether it connects to other nearby routes.
McCavanaugh Pond Road is a short 0.3-mile connector in the Adirondacks, brief enough to serve as a quick access route rather than a destination hike. The minimal distance suggests it likely links a trailhead or parking area to a nearby feature or trail junction. Expect easy terrain given the "road" designation, though surface conditions will vary seasonally.
This 0.1 km access road serves as a connector to the Middle Branch Trail system, likely providing parking or trailhead access rather than functioning as a hiking trail itself. Given its minimal length, it's essentially a short approach road or driveway. Check local trail maps or the trailhead kiosk for details on the main trail network it accesses.
This short carry connects Middle Pond and Polliwog Pond in the St. Regis Canoe Area, part of the network of portages paddlers use to navigate between ponds. At less than half a mile, it's one of the easier transitions in the system, though typical Adirondack carry conditions apply—roots, mud, and whatever the previous season left behind. Worth noting the carry distance if you're planning a multi-pond loop through this section of the canoe area.
This half-mile red-blazed trail provides quick access to Middle Pond, making it one of the shorter routes in its network. The distance suggests a straightforward walk rather than a challenging trek, likely suitable for a range of hikers looking for a modest outing. At 0.5 miles, it's brief enough for a morning or evening excursion with time to spare at the water's edge.
Mill Street is a brief 0.3-mile connector trail that likely serves as a village or neighborhood link rather than a backcountry route. Given the name and modest distance, this is probably an established path between developed areas, useful for local access or tying into a longer trail network. Expect an easy walk suitable for any footwear.
Miller Road runs for 1.5 miles through what's likely a multi-use or former logging corridor — the "Road" designation typically signals a wider, flatter tread than a footpath. Expect easy terrain suitable for walking or possibly biking, depending on maintenance and current use. Check locally for surface conditions and whether it connects to a larger trail network.
A characteristic passage through Adirondack woodland, this trail extends just over three kilometers within the broader network of paths that lace the region. The route is reported to offer an approachable introduction to the area's forested terrain without demanding technical skill or exceptional stamina. Those who walk it find themselves immersed in the quiet, persistent beauty that defines so much of the park's backcountry.
Moosehead Mountain Road is a short, sub-mile route in the Adirondacks, brief enough for a quick out-and-back or connector walk. At 0.8 miles, it's more of a woods stroll than a destination hike. Check local maps for current access and what it links to—short segments like this often serve as spurs or old logging roads feeding into larger trail networks.
Mount Arab Trail climbs just over half a mile to a fire tower summit in the northwestern Adirondacks, making it one of the shortest routes to a standing tower in the park. The steep but brief ascent gains elevation quickly through mixed forest before breaking out onto open rock at the top. The fire tower is staffed seasonally and offers 360-degree views from its cab.
Munson Road runs just over half a mile through the Adirondack Park, short enough for a quick out-and-back or connector between longer routes. The distance puts it in the quick-walk category—under 30 minutes end to end for most hikers. It's the kind of short trail segment that often serves a practical purpose: linking trailheads, accessing a parking area, or bridging two more established paths.
Myers Road runs 2.7 miles through the Adirondacks, likely following an old roadbed or right-of-way given its name. Without detailed route information, it's best confirmed locally before setting out—many former roads now serve as informal connectors or access routes rather than maintained hiking trails. Check current conditions and access status with nearby ranger stations or outfitters.
