About Map: Red Horse Trail ....

The Red Horse Trail in the southern Five Ponds Wilderness of the Adirondacks is a historic, challenging trail dating back to 1922. Spanning five miles from Big Burnt Lake to Clear Lake, it features serene lakes, old-growth forests, and wetland boardwalks. Divided into three sections, the trail's remoteness and limited access, primarily by boat, preserve its wilderness character. Highlights include Salmon Lake, Witchhopple Lake, and Clear Lake, with a mix of challenging and level terrain. The trail offers opportunities for camping, canoeing, and kayaking, providing a genuine wilderness experience away from more frequented Adirondack trails.
