There are a lot of great trails in the Adirondacks – this one, very near the town of Lake Placid, climbs a small hill above Mirror Lake for great views and passes a lovely lake on the way back down. Only a little over a couple miles and 500 feet elevation gain it’s a great way to stretch your legs without spending a lot of time or a long drive. You can park near the trailhead along the road around Mirror Lake.
