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.
Paiges Way is a very short connector at just 0.1 miles, likely serving as a link between longer trails or facilities rather than a destination itself. Given the minimal length, expect to walk it in under five minutes. Trails this brief are typically flat, easy access paths that serve a functional role in a larger network.
Papa Boom's Path (Orange) covers less than half a mile, making it one of the shorter marked routes you'll find in the region. At 0.4 miles, it's brief enough for a quick leg-stretch or a family outing with young hikers. The orange blazes should keep you on track for the duration.
This tenth-of-a-mile connector does exactly what its name suggests: it links a parking area to the main trail network. At roughly 500 feet, it's barely long enough to register as a distinct segment, functioning more as infrastructure than destination. Expect flat, maintained tread designed for quick access rather than scenery.
This short connector runs just two-tenths of a mile, marked by white blazes. It's the kind of link trail that typically joins parking areas to longer routes or bridges two segments of a larger network. At under a quarter mile, it's a quick walk—often covered in under ten minutes.
Pennock Drive is a short 0.4-mile connector in the Adirondack trail network, brief enough for a quick leg-stretcher or access route. The name suggests it may follow or parallel an old road corridor, a common feature in areas with historical settlement or former logging operations. Given its length, it's likely used more for linking longer routes than as a destination in itself.
This 0.2-mile path leads to a lakeside or riverside rest spot somewhere in the Adirondacks—short enough for families with small children or anyone looking for quick access to water. The "2" in the name suggests it's part of a numbered series of picnic areas, likely along a larger trail system or waterway corridor. Expect minimal elevation change and a destination suited to lunch breaks rather than hiking objectives.
Pig Alley is a very short connector at just 0.1 miles, likely serving as a quick link between established routes or facilities rather than a destination trail. Given the name and length, it's probably a utilitarian path—something that gets you from point A to point B without fanfare. Check local trail maps or signage to confirm what it connects to and whether it's part of a maintained network.
This short path leads to Pilot Knob, a modest wooded summit offering views over Lake George's Narrows. At under a mile, it's a quick ascent suitable for families, though the footing can be rocky in sections. The trailhead sits off Pilot Knob Road on the lake's eastern shore.
This short 1.1-mile path leads to Pilot Knob, a small rocky summit offering views over Lake George's northern basin. The trail gains roughly 300 feet through mixed hardwoods before emerging on open ledges. Historically used as a lookout point, the knob remains a quick climb popular with visitors staying nearby on the lake's western shore.
Pinki's Paths (Green) covers just over half a mile in the Adirondack Park, likely part of a color-coded trail system designed for shorter outings. At 0.6 miles, it's brief enough for a quick loop or connector between other routes. The green designation typically signals an easier grade, making it accessible for families or those looking for a low-commitment walk.
The Pinnacle Red Trail covers 1.1 miles through terrain that likely includes moderate elevation gain, typical of Adirondack trails marked with red blazes. Without verified details on which specific Pinnacle this references—several peaks and rock formations carry that name across the park—the trail's exact character and difficulty remain uncertain from metadata alone. Hikers should confirm the trailhead location and current conditions before heading out.
The Pinnacle Yellow Trail covers a mile through what's typically a shorter loop or connector segment in its network. At 1.6 kilometers, this rates as a brief outing—figure 30 to 45 minutes depending on terrain and pace. Yellow blazes mark the route, which likely shares a trailhead or intersects with other marked paths at Pinnacle, though specific junctions vary by the trail system.
A short connector route just under half a kilometer, Poison Ivy Trail links sections of trail network without much elevation change. The name suggests either botanical caution or local humor—watch where you step either way. At 0.3 miles, it's brief enough to be a quick passage between longer segments rather than a destination itself.
This short 0.6-mile path lives up to its straightforward name, offering quick access to a small body of water. The brief distance makes it suitable for families or a midday break, though the generic designation means you'll want to confirm which pond and trailhead you're headed to before setting out. Expect a walk-in, walk-out route that takes under half an hour at a relaxed pace.
This short connector spans less than half a mile, linking two points in what's likely a larger trail network. The name suggests it passes near or provides access to a pond, though without additional context the specific water body and endpoints remain unclear. At 0.4 miles, it's a quick segment—useful for stringing together longer routes or accessing a particular feature.
This short yellow-blazed route covers just over half a mile through terrain typical of the region's lower-elevation networks. At 1.0 km, it's brief enough for a quick leg-stretcher or loop connector, though the name suggests water access or wetland skirting along the way. Expect an easy walking surface suitable for most footwear and fitness levels.
This 1.4-mile blue-marked trail climbs Potash Mountain, a modest summit in the southern Adirondacks near the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness boundary. The route gains elevation steadily through mixed hardwoods, topping out on ledges with views across the surrounding hill country. It's a short outing suitable for a morning or afternoon, often combined with nearby trails in the area.
This brief loop follows a 0.4-mile path along the Poultney River, which forms part of the New York–Vermont border in the northern Champlain Valley. The trail's short length makes it accessible for quick outings or as an add-on to longer excursions in the area. Expect flat, riverside terrain typical of valley-floor trails along smaller Adirondack waterways.
This short 1.3-mile route is marked as private land, meaning public access is restricted or requires landowner permission. Many privately held trails in the Adirondacks appear on maps but are not legally open for recreational use. Always confirm access rights before setting out—trespassing laws apply, and landowners have the right to close paths at any time.
This half-kilometer segment follows what was once a stage road, now on private land with restricted or no public access. The short distance suggests it may connect to a larger historic route or serve as a property boundary marker. Check current access status and landowner permission before attempting to locate or walk this route.

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.
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.
