New York
From its western terminus at Old Forge, New York, the
Trail begins its journey along the Fulton Chain of Lakes,
following the historic path of Iroquois trappers in birch
bark canoes, traditional log drives down the Raquette
River, Adirondack guides leading city “sports” across the
wide stretches of Raquette Lake and early steamboats
navigating to lodges on the shores of Long Lake.
