Protecting the future of Adirondack trails
Trails are the lifelines of outdoor recreation — connecting people to nature and one another. ADK’s Trail Funding & Maintenance initiative advocates for dedicated resources to keep these paths safe, sustainable, and accessible for generations to come.
With over 2,000 miles of trails across the Adirondacks, maintenance is a constant challenge. Erosion, heavy use, and limited budgets threaten trail quality and visitor safety. Without consistent funding, critical repairs and stewardship programs remain at risk.
Our trail stewardship efforts
Through partnerships, volunteer engagement, and advocacy, ADK leads on-the-ground efforts and pushes for policy-level support.
Where your support makes a difference
From securing funding for new trailheads to improving accessibility standards across state parks, ADK’s advocacy continues to make a tangible difference.
