DEC has announced the start of 2023 construction on the Adirondack Rail Trail between Station Street in Lake Placid and Broadway in Saranac Lake. This trail segment is now closed to all users during construction. The trail is a 34-mile multi-use recreational path for outdoor adventurers between Tupper Lake and Lake Placid.
Bids for phase two of construction were submitted in late March. Construction is scheduled to begin as early as May 2023 between Saranac Lake and Floodwood Road, Lake Clear. Construction of the Adirondack Rail Trail is anticipated to be done in three phases.
