2,611 named trails across 6,101 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.
This section of the Champlain Valley Trail traces nearly forty-two kilometers of varied terrain between Whitehall and Ticonderoga, passing through landscapes where working farmland meets the eastern prospect of the Adirondack massif. The route is reported to offer sweeping views across rural Washington County, where agricultural heritage and mountain backdrop converge in a corridor that remains largely pastoral in character. Though classified as a local trail network, the distance suggests a commitment suited to through-hikers or those prepared to stage the journey across multiple outings.
Blue Trail covers 1.2 miles through the park, a short out-and-back or loop suitable for a quick outing. Without additional network or trailhead details, it's best confirmed locally before heading out. The distance makes it manageable for most hikers in under an hour.
This 1.8-mile snowmobile corridor provides a short winter link through the backcountry, though it lacks the specificity of named routes in the region's trail network. The route is designed for motorized winter travel and may see limited summer maintenance. Check local conditions and club maps before relying on it as a through route.
Crane Mountain Path climbs 3.2 miles to a 3,254-foot summit with an exposed rock cap and a small pond just below the top. The route is steep in sections and demands sure footing, but the open ledges deliver long views across the southern Adirondacks.
Erebus Mountain Trail runs 3.2 miles to a modest summit in the northern Adirondacks. The route is rated "hiking" difficulty — straightforward terrain, suitable for a half-day trip with minimal technical demands.
This short snowmobile corridor runs just under a mile and a half through the park's winter trail network. Built for motorized winter use, the route is typically groomed when conditions allow and sees recreational traffic from December through early spring. Like most snowmobile trails in the region, it's closed to motorized use during the off-season but may be open to hiking and mountain biking where posted.
A 2.9-mile trail from Darcy Clearing to Fishbrook Pond, passing Bumps Pond en route. The path connects two remote ponds in moderate terrain — used by hikers seeking quieter water and occasional anglers working the brook trout fishery.
Round Pond Trail covers 2.7 miles through terrain that leads to its namesake pond. The distance makes it manageable as a half-day outing, though elevation gain and footing will determine actual hiking time. Without confirmed trailhead or network information, verify current access and conditions locally before heading out.
Main Logging Road is a 1.6-mile route likely following an old forestry corridor, the kind of doubletrack that once served timber operations and now sees recreational use. These roads typically offer easier walking than footpaths, with gentle grades and decent footing, though conditions vary with maintenance and season. Expect a straightforward out-and-back or potential connector to other trails in the area.
Spruce Mountain offers a 3.3-mile out-and-back or loop that climbs to a wooded summit in the southern Adirondacks. The trail gains elevation steadily through mixed forest, with the upper sections narrowing as you approach the top. Expect a moderately steep ascent — manageable for most hikers in a half-day outing.
Mount Cooper is a 2.7-mile trail that offers a moderate out-and-back or loop option in the central Adirondacks. The route climbs through mixed hardwood forest to a modest summit with limited views due to vegetation. Expect a quieter experience than on nearby High Peaks trails, with typical footing over roots and rocks.
The Inman Pond Trail runs 2.4 miles through the Adirondack backcountry, offering a modest distance suited to a half-day outing. This route provides access to Inman Pond, a quieter body of water away from the more traveled corridors of the park. Expect typical North Country terrain—mixed forest, moderate grades, and the kind of solitude that comes with trails not found on every must-hike list.
This 2-mile unmarked route follows what appears to be an old roadbed, likely a former logging or access road now used informally for hiking. Without blazes or maintained tread, navigation relies on reading the corridor itself—look for the wider clearing, subtle grade, and remnant ditching that distinguish old roads from footpaths. Best suited for those comfortable with light bushwhacking and map work in areas where the route may fade or intersect with other unofficial traces.
This short blue-marked route covers just over half a mile through the woods. At 0.6 miles, it's brief enough for a quick leg-stretcher or a connector between longer segments. Good for a morning walk or an easy introduction to trail navigation.
Buck Mountain from Hogtown is a 2.1-mile trail to the summit — the shorter of two routes up this Lake George peak. The trailhead sits on Hogtown Road; the climb is direct and the exposed rock summit delivers views across the southern basin.
This 2.8-mile snowmobile trail follows a multi-use corridor typical of the Adirondack trail network, where motorized winter routes often share infrastructure with summer hikers and cyclists. The relatively short distance makes it accessible for a quick out-and-back or as a connector between longer routes. Expect a wide, groomed surface in winter and a flat, straightforward path in warmer months.
Berry Pond trail (blue) covers 1.1 miles through terrain that's manageable for most hikers looking for a shorter outing. The blue-blazed route makes for a reasonable morning or afternoon walk without requiring a full day's commitment. At just under two miles round-trip, it's short enough to pair with another nearby trail if you're looking to extend your time on foot.
Buck Mountain from Pilot Knob is a 1.9-mile trail to the 2,330-foot summit — short but steep, with exposed rock near the top. The summit offers open views over Lake George; the trailhead is off Pilot Knob Road with limited roadside parking.
A moderate ascent of roughly three kilometers marked by blue discs, this trail climbs to a rocky summit that is reported to offer sweeping views over the southern Lake George basin and the eastern High Peaks. The route gains elevation steadily through mixed forest, emerging onto open ledges where the panorama—when weather permits—extends across water and mountain alike. Though popular with families and day hikers, the trail retains a quiet character, its modest length rewarding walkers with a sense of accomplishment disproportionate to the effort required.
This short snowmobile trail runs just over a mile through terrain maintained for winter motorized use. Most snowmobile corridors in the Adirondacks connect larger trail networks or provide access to backcountry areas when snow conditions allow. At 1.1 miles, it likely serves as a connector segment rather than a destination route.
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 Shortway Trail runs 1.7 miles through the Adirondacks, a moderate length suitable for a quick morning outing or an after-work leg-stretcher. The name suggests it may serve as a connector or alternate route within a larger trail network, though specific junctions aren't documented here. Expect typical Adirondack forest terrain—mixed hardwoods, occasional roots and rocks, and the kind of quiet that makes you notice your own footsteps.
