High Falls Loop - Cranberry Lake New York Hikes

Four easy, interlocking interpretive trails travel mature mixed forest, pine forest, and wetland habitats. Paul Smiths is one of two visitor interpretive centers operated by the Adirondack Park Agency and serving travelers to New York State’s six-million-acre Adirondack Park; the other is in Newcomb. At Paul Smiths four superb nature trails encourage one to lace on the hiking boots and go exploring. Seasonally, the nation’s first Native Species Butterfly House beckons a detour.
