July 27: International Paper – John Dillon Park

Not too far north of the village of Long Lake, John Dillon Park, managed by Paul Smith’s College, combines deep, archetypal Adirondack woods and lakeshore with handicapped accessible trails and bathrooms. We’ll take an easy ramble here on an afternoon in midsummer, identify trees and other wild things of interest, and, as always, see what turns up.

All trails, bathrooms, and lean-tos are ADA accessible.

Directions:
From the intersection of Rts. 30 and 28N in Long Lake village, drive north on Rt. 30 for 4.8 miles to the John Dillon Park entrance on the right. Drive down the entrance road past the gate until you reach the designated parking area and visitor center. We’ll meet there. Take it slow down the 2 mile dirt road.  

Meet at the trailhead at 1pm. 

What to Bring: Proper footwear for a hike like sneakers or boots, appropriate clothing, water and snacks if desired.

Registration required for this hike. Directions and more information will be sent once you register. Click HERE to register
