This
1.3-mile-loop begins at the gazebo, where you take a right. It
passes through a forest of spruce, fir, pine, hemlock, cedar,
and tamarack. Follow the yellow trail markers. The upland portion
of the walk takes you to a giant white pine before turning left
to skirt the shore of Barnum Pond. The path then leads to a 1,600-foot
boardwalk across a spruce swamp and then through hardwoods.
This
unofficial site celebrates the beauty of the scenic trails at
the Paul Smiths Adirondack Visitor Center.
The Paul Smiths VIC is located on Route 30 near Paul Smiths,
New York.
