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.
Proceeding Trail covers just under half a kilometer through the park, making it one of the shorter named routes in the Adirondack network. At 0.3 miles, it's brief enough to connect two points or serve as a quick leg-stretcher rather than a destination hike. Check local signage or recent reports for current conditions and any junction details.
This short remnant follows part of the historic Prospect Mountain Railway bed, which once carried tourists by cog railway to the summit from 1895 to 1903. At just 0.1 miles, it's more of a historic trace than a hiking route, likely encountered as part of the larger trail network on Prospect Mountain above Lake George. The railway ruins and graded path offer a glimpse into the region's early tourism era.
This 1.8-mile trail climbs Prospect Mountain in Lake George, offering a hiking alternative to the summit road. The blue-marked route gains roughly 760 feet through mixed forest, with sections of moderate steepness typical of Adirondack foothill approaches. The trailhead sits near the base of the mountain's auto road, providing hikers a quieter ascent to views over the southern Adirondacks.
The Prospect Trail (Orange) covers a short 0.3 miles through part of the trail network, likely named for a viewpoint or elevated terrain feature common to Adirondack footpaths. At this length, it's often used as a connector or quick access route rather than a destination in itself. Expect minimal elevation change and a walking time under fifteen minutes one way.
Puffer Pond Trail is a short 1.4-mile route that offers a relatively brief outing in the Adirondacks. At just over two kilometers, it's well-suited for families or anyone looking for a quick walk without significant time commitment. The trail's modest length makes it accessible for a morning or afternoon excursion.
Putnam Cross Road is a very short 0.2-mile connector in the Adirondacks, likely serving as a link between nearby trails or access points rather than a destination in itself. At this length, it's more of a trailhead approach or network segment than a hike. Useful primarily for through-hikers or those navigating a larger trail system in the area.
Putt Putt is a 0.2-mile connector or spur trail—short enough to walk in just a few minutes. The playful name suggests a local nickname, common in trail networks where quick links between longer routes need casual reference points. At this length, it's purely functional: a way to get from one trail to another without backtracking.
Putty Pond is a very short walk at just two-tenths of a mile, making it one of the briefest named trails in the Adirondack directory. The minimal distance suggests either a quick access route to the pond itself or a connector between other trail segments. Given the length, expect minimal elevation change and a walk measured in minutes rather than hours.
