The Adirondack Trail is one of New York's greatest treasures, running through a preserved parkland spanning 6 million acres of rugged mountains, lakes, streams, and forests. On the route which runs northward from Fonda to Malone, there are a number of enchanting villages that are historically significant. Hiking and camping are popular here, as well, with miles of exquisite trails. In winter, cross-country and downhill skiing dominate the sports scene with snowmobiling and snowshoeing close behind. The air is crisp and clean throughout the year with a special zing added in the winter months. The waters are pristine, untouched by the pollution of progress. And, the towns along the path are invitingly delightful with a twist of history to go. The Adirondack Mountains control the scenery with lakes scattered here and there. In fall, the reds and yellows on the mountainsides inspire awe; and in the winter, a thick blanket of snow covers the landscape - a cold, but beautiful vision of white. This is the land for all season sports. In spring and summer, the fresh mountain springs ripple through the woodlands as anglers cast their lines. Beaches open up for swimming and boating at the many lake shores on the way. Canoeing at St. Regis Canoe Wilderness Area offers a tranquil day on the crystal-clear waters with not a sound to be heard, except the warbling of the wild birds in the background. The Adirondack Trail begins in the town of Fonda on Route 30A, continues on to Route 30 north to Indian Lake, then takes Route 28 to Blue Mountain Lake. From there, it goes on Route 28N to Round Lake and Route 30 north to Tupper Lake. At Tupper Lake, it veers right onto Route 3 for a short spell until it reaches Route 30, once again, to its end point in Malone.
