The Adirondack Rail Trail is now fully open for hikers, bikers, cross-country skiers and snowmobilers.
Work to transform the Rail Trail started in October 2020 when the Department of Transportation began removing rail infrastructure. The 34-mile trail connects the communities of Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, and Tupper Lake. The cost to transform the unused railroad corridor was nearly $40 million according to state officials. The trail is open all year and features a shallow grade, wide tread, and a firm surface to make it accessible for people with disabilities.
