ADK Recreation Interactive Trail Map and Trip Planner
Instead of driving the beautiful and scenic corridors of the Adirondack Mountains, consider riding your bike to fully immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the mountainous environment. With routes of varying elevation change and ranging from remote corridors with no buildings for miles to scenic paths near large towns, there are routes sure to meet everyone's skill levels and interests.
To help you make the most out of your Adirondacks experience, we here at ADKTrailMap.com have assembled a guide to help you have a safe and enjoyable journey while cycling. Remember to review this guide each time you pack for your trip to ensure that you don't leave anything behind.
The first stop for planning any trip to New York's Adirondack Mountains should be to ADKTrailMap.com. From here you can plan your route by browsing the map; seeing where to park; searching trails by trail type, level of difficulty, distance, and/or name; and exploring an array of other outdoor recreation activities.
ADKTrailMap.com is also available on mobile devices with limited features. For full functionality on smartphones, download our free 'Adirondack Trails' app from the either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
Starting and ending in Saranac Lake, this 67 mile route takes you into some very remote areas with scenic water views. Rolling elevation changes exist on the route making it moderately difficult.
Part of this Central Adirondack Route follows the path President Theodore Roosevelt took from Mount Marcy to the North Creek Train Station following President McKinley's death. It is a good option if you are looking for a route that is mostly remote yet with a few major towns dotted along the route. Consider staying overnight along the route in Long Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, or Indian Lake.
Short for Thendara, Old Forge, Big Moose, Indian Lake, and Eagle Bay, this trail exists in some segments as an off-street paved route, making it friendly for families and recreational riders, particularly in the Thendara ??? Old Forge Corridor. In other sections, the trail exists as stone, dust, and dirt.
This short 3 mile trail is great for a casual ride in Saranac Lake. Enjoy distant views of Adirondack Peaks.
After pitching your tent or parking your camper, ride your bike around the paths of this large Adirondack campground. Trails total more than 4 miles in the entire campsite.
To ensure a positive experience, PRIOR to leaving, use our helpful checklist to make sure no stone is left unturned when packing for the trip.
In case of any emergency know the DEC Forest Ranger Adirondacks Emergency Phone Line: 518-891-0235
If you have cell service in the Adirondacks, dialing 911 may direct you to a 911 Dispatcher in a neighboring county or potentially even Vermont. If for any reason a 911 Dispatcher can not assist you, dial the DEC Forest Ranger Emergency Phone Line. DEC Forest Rangers are highly trained emergency responders knowledgeable of the geography and subtleties of the Adirondack Mountains.
When doing anything out on the trails, we urge you take a map, a compass, and know how to use them. We offer an online interactive map that allows you to zoom in print your own map. We also offer a wealth of downloadable PDFs about hiking, fishing, camping, birding, and more.
For smartphones, our Adirondack Trails app is GPS-enabled. Once downloaded to your smartphone, the app provides a happy marriage of old technology (maps and compasses) and new. It does not require cell phone service. Unlike a paper map, the app will show you exactly where you are: on or off the trail. Both maps and apps have their limitations. Use together, with common sense, and enjoy the beauty of the Adirondacks with confidence.
