North Country Trail: New York
The North Country Trail (NCT) traverses 700 miles through New York. Weave between the footprints of glaciers on 400+ miles that coincide with the Finger Lakes Trail. Dramatic gorges and quiet woods blend into the farmland of Central New York. The Erie Towpath meanders through history, along a route once created to connect the USA via boat. The country gets forever wild in the Adirondacks - exploring 8 wildernesses of serene lakes and hardwood mountain forests. From the song of a loon to gorgeous waterfalls, New York is a hiker's paradise. Travel the NY NCT through a virtual photo tour:
