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.
A very short connector in the St. Regis Canoe Area, the Ochre Pond Trail covers just two-tenths of a mile between the pond and nearby trail junctions. It's primarily used by paddlers portaging or hikers linking longer routes through this heavily watered wilderness. Expect a well-worn but straightforward path typical of the canoe area's portage network.
Old Lyon Mountain Trail covers 1.3 miles in the northern Adirondacks, near the former mining town of Lyon Mountain. The route leads toward the summit of Lyon Mountain, known for its fire tower and views across the Champlain Valley. Expect moderate terrain typical of shorter northeastern ascents—rocky sections and steady elevation gain through mixed forest.
Old Route 190 is a half-kilometer remnant of historic road now managed as a short trail segment. At 0.3 miles, it likely serves as a connector or access route rather than a destination in itself. Check local trail maps for current junction points and whether the old roadbed still sees maintenance.
Old Route 3 is a half-mile path that likely follows a former alignment of the state highway before modern rerouting. At 0.8 kilometers, it's a quick walk suitable for casual exploration or as a connector between points along the current Route 3 corridor. The old roadbed typically offers easy, level footing on what remains of the historic surface.
Old Side Trail is a very short connector at one-tenth of a mile, likely linking two points within a larger trail network. At this length, it's more of a junction spur than a destination in itself. Its purpose is probably utility—reaching a viewpoint, a water source, or bridging two main routes.
This short connector runs less than half a mile through the backcountry, likely a remnant of winter recreation routes that predate newer trail alignments. At 0.4 miles, it's brief enough to serve as a quick link between longer routes or a turnaround option for those testing conditions. Expect minimal signage and a corridor that may still show evidence of its original groomed width.
One-Liner is a short 0.3-mile trail in the Adirondacks, brief enough that its name likely reflects the experience. At half a kilometer, it's walkable in under 15 minutes for most hikers, making it either a quick connector between longer routes or a destination itself for those seeking minimal mileage. Expect a trail measured in minutes rather than hours.
Operation Trail is a 0.4-mile connector maintained for basic hiking access. Short enough to walk in minutes; typically used to link longer routes rather than as a destination.
The Orange Loop covers 1.6 miles through terrain that could be anywhere in the Adirondacks without additional context—dozens of trail systems use color-coded loops. If this is part of a town or nature center network, it likely stays on gentler ground suitable for a quick outing. Check locally for trailhead location and whether it connects to other marked routes in the same system.
This short loop near Saranac Lake offers a quick woodland walk with views over Oseetah Lake, one of the three connected lakes that define the village's geography. At under a mile, it's an accessible option for families or as a leg-stretcher between longer outings. The trail typically sees moderate traffic and provides a straightforward introduction to the area's lakeside terrain.
