Eagle-Bay

A flat and scenic 4-mile loop around Cascade Lake with lean-tos, swimming spots, and a quiet forest setting. The trail is gentle enough for younger kids and provides several opportunities to stop at the lakeshore to skip rocks, wade, or have a snack. The lean-tos make great picnic shelters on rainy days. Combined with the nearby Moss Lake trail, families can easily fill a full day of exploring. The lake is popular with loons so keep your eyes and ears open.

A gentle 2.5-mile loop trail around a pristine Adirondack lake that is one of the best family hikes in the region. The trail is mostly flat and passes through beautiful forest with several lake access points where kids can skip rocks and look for frogs. A lean-to along the way makes a great rest stop. The lake is a popular spot for kayaking and fishing. This is the kind of trail where even reluctant hikers have a good time because it feels more like a nature walk than a hike.
