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 short connector through forested terrain, this trail spans just over half a kilometer and is marked by red disks maintained by the state's Department of Environmental Conservation. The route is brief enough to serve as a link between longer paths or as a quick woodland walk in its own right. Though modest in length, it threads through country typical of the region's lower elevations, where mixed hardwoods and the occasional rocky outcrop define the character of the forest floor.
A very short ski trail at just 0.3 miles, Peavine Swamp Ski Trail likely offers a brief loop or connector through wetland terrain. Its name suggests low-lying, marshy ground that freezes over in winter—classic conditions for Nordic touring. Best suited for beginners or as a warm-up segment before linking to longer routes in the area.
Peavine Swamp Ski Trail - Loop 1 covers 1.9 miles through terrain designed for Nordic skiing, part of the larger Peavine Swamp network. The loop format makes it suitable for shorter winter outings when snow conditions allow. As with most ski trails in the park, it's best experienced after fresh snowfall and may be less defined during the off-season.
Loop 2 at Peavine Swamp offers a 2.4-mile circuit through terrain suited for cross-country skiing, part of a multi-loop trail system in the northern Adirondacks. The route follows groomed corridors through mixed forest and wetland edges typical of this lowland ski area. Best skied when conditions allow, though you'll want to check recent grooming reports before heading out.
Loop 3 is the shortest of the Peavine Swamp network's three loops at 1.3 miles, designed for cross-country skiing through the swamp's winter terrain. The trail offers a quick outing for skiers looking to test conditions or connect with the longer loops in the system. Like the other Peavine routes, it's best used when snow cover and freeze-up transform the wetland into skiable terrain.
Phelix Road is a short 0.3-mile connector in the Adirondacks, brief enough to serve as an access route or link between longer trails. At under half a kilometer, it's typically walked in minutes rather than treated as a destination. Check local trail maps for its role in the broader network—short segments like this often tie together trailheads, campsites, or adjoining routes.
Picketville Road is a short 0.7-mile route that likely follows an old road corridor, typical of historical access routes throughout the Adirondacks. At just over a kilometer, it's brief enough for a quick out-and-back or a connector segment in a longer loop. Best suited for a quick walk or as part of local exploration rather than a destination hike on its own.
Pitchfork Pond Road is a short 0.3-mile connector in the Adirondacks, brief enough to serve as an access route rather than a destination in itself. The name suggests it leads toward Pitchfork Pond, though at this length it's likely just the initial approach or a spur off a larger trail network. Expect easy terrain typical of old roads repurposed for hiking—wide tread, gentle grade, and minimal technical challenge.
This short 0.3-mile segment traces a portion of the historic Potsdam and Hannawa Railroad corridor in the northern Adirondacks. The rail line once connected Potsdam to Hannawa Falls in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, serving local industries and passenger traffic. The brief stretch today offers an easy, flat walk suitable for anyone interested in regional rail history.
