My husband and I snowshoed the blue Lakeside Trail. The trail itself was very well marked once we got to it - it is a bit of a distance from the parking area - keep going until you get to the big sign, then turn left. It is lovely by the lake, easy hiking, and fun!!!

I love these trails because it always seems like no one else is ever out there. Good for hiking, snowshoeing, etc. The longest loop around is only about 1.5 miles, so it's not too much for kids. Good for dogs too (even though the local leash law applies here, most people let their dogs run free).

If you enjoy trailrunning this is a great location. Be sure to grab a map from the sign-box though because there are some confusing intersections without signs.

Can be connected with the long 'Jack Rabbit' Ski trail in winter. Walk from the parking lot (behind howard johnsons and up a smooth dirt... More

It was an easy walk, but not really that great (unless we missed something).

Want to do a nice walk with the entire family and catch a glimpse of Lake Placid. These trails are hidden but worth seeking and they require a minimum of effort.
