Northville-Placid Trail

An interactive map of the Northville Placid Trail, featuring campsites, lean-tos and nearby trails. The Northville–Lake Placid Trail, also known as the NPT, is a lightly traveled foot trail that runs 138 miles through the Central Adirondack Park from Northville to Lake Placid. It was laid out by the Adirondack Mountain Club in 1922 and 1923 and is maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. It is connected to Long Path to the south, which runs through the Mohawk Valley, Heldebergs, Schoharie Valley, Catskill Mountains, Shawgunks and ultimately to George Washington Bridge in New York - New Jersey.
