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.
Sawmill Road is a short 0.6-mile route that likely follows an old logging access corridor, a common feature in the working forest landscape of the Adirondacks. The brief distance makes it suitable for a quick walk or as a connector to longer trail systems in the area. Check local maps or trailhead signage for current conditions and any seasonal restrictions.
This short access road runs less than a mile through state land to reach the Schroon River, primarily serving anglers and paddlers looking for put-in points. The route is flat and straightforward, following an old roadbed that's navigable by most vehicles in decent weather. Expect a utilitarian path rather than a scenic footpath—this is about river access, not the walk itself.
This short forest preserve road runs less than a mile through state land along the Schroon River corridor, likely serving as access to the waterway or connecting to the broader trail network in the area. At 0.8 miles, it's a brief walk suitable for casual users or as a link in a longer route. The road designation suggests a wide, well-defined path rather than a narrow footpath.
This short 0.8-mile trail leads to Shingletree Pond, a small backcountry water body in the Adirondacks. The route is brief enough for a quick walk but long enough to feel removed from trailhead activity. Best suited for hikers looking for a modest destination without committing to a full day on their feet.
The Short Swing Trail runs 5.5 miles through the region, offering a moderate day hike suitable for hikers looking for more than a quick loop but less than a full-day commitment. The name suggests it may be part of a larger trail network or loop system, though its specific routing and connections would depend on the trailhead you access. At this distance, expect to budget three to four hours round-trip at a comfortable pace.
An unmarked path through the Adirondack backcountry, this route stretches roughly 2.6 kilometers and is said to follow Slide Brook through terrain that rewards careful navigation. The complete absence of blazes or formal markers makes it a choice for experienced hikers comfortable with map and compass work rather than those seeking a maintained corridor. What the trail may lack in infrastructure it is reported to offer in solitude, threading through forest that sees relatively light traffic even during the busier months of the hiking season.
This short spur branches less than a mile off a larger trail system to reach the Springhill Ponds, a pair of quiet backcountry water bodies. The 0.7-mile path is typically used as a side trip rather than a destination hike on its own. Expect relatively easy terrain given the short distance, though conditions at the ponds themselves can be brushy depending on maintenance.
The Springhill Ponds Trail runs 6.1 miles through terrain that likely accesses backcountry water features, though specific routing and trailhead details aren't immediately documented in widely available sources. At this length, it's a solid half-day commitment—plan for roughly 3-4 hours round-trip depending on pace and conditions. Check locally for current trail status and access points, as lesser-traveled routes in the park can see variable maintenance.
This 0.1-mile connector does exactly what its name suggests—linking one trail to another in a brief walk. At roughly 500 feet, it's among the shortest named segments in the park, typically crossed in a minute or two. Check local trail maps to see which routes it joins, as "Spur Trail" appears in several different networks across the Adirondacks.
Stonehouse Road is a mile-long route in the Adirondacks, short enough for a quick out-and-back or a connecting segment in a longer loop. The name suggests historical settlement, though whether any stonework remains is best confirmed on the ground. At 1.7 kilometers round-trip, it's an easy addition to a day's itinerary if you're exploring the area.
Summit Trail is a 0.8-mile path to a peak or overlook — short enough for a quick ascent, but the name alone doesn't reveal which summit it serves. Check trailhead signage for elevation gain and views; without those, it's a placeholder route.
