Welcome
About the Adirondack rail trail
The 34-mile multipurpose trail starts at Lake Placid and ends at Tupper Lake and serves users of all ages and abilities year-round. It enables residents and visitors to enjoy healthy exercise, commune with nature, and soak up Adirondack history. Use this website to plan your trip.
The Adirondack Rail Trail is managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC). The Adirondack Rail Trail Association (ARTA) partners with NYS DEC to addresses trail maintenance and amenities.
The Adirondack Rail Trail is a journey like no other in the Adirondack Park. It TRAVERSES VIBRANT SECTIONS OF LAKE PLACID, SARANAC LAKE, AND TUPPER LAKE.
