Come and enjoy our Trails!
Free, Family-Friendly & Dog-Friendly
Come enjoy the scenery and solitude of our trails so close to home.
Our trails are located in Queensbury, NY and all are either 5 or 10 minutes from the Adirondack Northway I-87 Exit 18, Exit 19 or Exit 20. The trails are between 1/2 mile and 2.5 miles long.
They are free to use and are family-friendly, so bring the kids and the dog. Trail maps are available at each trail head and on this website.
The trails close at dusk, no overnight parking or camping. As always, please respect our trails and respect your fellow hikers/bikers. All dogs but must be leashed and please clean up after them. Also, carry out what you carry in and "leave no trace".
Please consider donating today. Your support funds much-needed trail maintenance, trail building and future land preservation.
