Dramatic mountain crags fall away to reveal forest-flanked lakes in the Lake Placid Region, a stretch of the Adirondacks known for the easy access it affords to year-round outdoor activities.
The Potomac Trail travels through a variety of forest types and follows the edges of some of the numerous ponds in the area. This relatively flat trail has a primitive natural tread and traverses occasional wet areas. It is a nice loop on which to learn cross-country skiing and is also a popular game bird hunting area. The Potomac Trail network connects with the Interloken Trail and the Potomac Group Campground reservation area (see Potomac Group Campground). Fishing is allowed in the ponds, following New York State DEC fishing regulations. Please practice Leave No Trace ethics, such as carry out what you carry in.
We offer a compact version of Go-New-York for mobile users, allowing you to access just the information you need on the road. Of course, you can still use the full version of Go-New-York on your mobile device just as you can on your desktop.
