A Boreal Wonderland along the Roosevelt Truck Trail

"The Roosevelt Truck Trail in Minerva is one of the most beautiful trails in the Adirondack Park. The road-sized path takes hikers through a lovely, mature boreal forest of spruce and balsam fir trees on a carpet of sphagnum moss. The 2.5 mile long trail has become a favorite hike during the annual Adirondack Birding Festival. Summer and winter field trips, co-sponsored by the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Department and Northern New York Audubon, are now regularly offered."

The Roosevelt Truck Trail was built in the 1930s for forest fire suppression and provides a relatively flat, gated remote wilderness road for walking and exploring in remote country of the Adirondacks.
