Trail Overview

This is a nice ride through the backwoods of the Lake Placid area. Most of the surrounding area on the western end is owned by a forest products company and they have blocked side trail access. The trail takes you around the southern flank of 3,550-foot Saddleback Mountain through the Adirondack Forest Preserve.

Generally clear mostly packed gravel and stones but a few areas with drops and washouts. A few sections of moderate size loose stones. Picking lines are important in those sections. Driving a Canyon AT4 and the added ground clearance was needed in those rough sections. Non-lifted SUV’s wouldn’t make it through.

Fun little trail near lake placid. Did it in my stock TRD Pro. Nothing too crazy, a few high rocks and the road is broken & washed out in some parts which would make it challenging for a normal SUV to do. Definitely need a high clearance vehicle.
