  • My wife and I wanted to have a relatively easy hike for our first full day in Lake Placid. After waiting for the rain to mostly stop, we drove to Henry's Woods. Easy to find off of Bear Cub Lane...

  • Nice well marked trail system that allows you to choose your own adventure for distance. We took Henrey’s Woods (green) to the plateau trail (yellow) which brings you back to green as a trail run...

  • This is an easy well marked trail....we did the additional red trail to the summit of Rocky Knob....this is not a very steep hike at hall for going uphill, once on top you will get views of Lake...

  • Well-maintained, marked trails with ample parking close to the village. Offers a variety of skill levels from wide low-grade trails to steeper paths with a few nice views. Year-round access and typically not too busy.
  • Nice looking trail. Make sure to go yellow trail for great views in good weather.
  • Amazing hike for a family with a toddler. Beautiful, easy, not too long.
  • Decided to check this out over the weekend. It was beautiful in the snow. There was a layer of snow covering ice which got the best of us at times (wear spikes during winter) My yaktraks didn’t cut it. It was an easy hike that I’ll definitely do again! It is dog friendly, however we had the only dog on leash. If you’re looking for an easy hike that won’t take up your day this is for you! Nice fresh air and a pretty view if you take the red trail. Enjoy!
  • Henry's Woods will offer you a well-groomed trail loop of 2.25 miles. The terrain a series of fairly gentle undulating grades. The summit view trail is a steady but not intense climb, with views of both the high peaks and the town of Lake Placid. A glimpse of the lake and a full view of Whiteface are had. Dogs off leash are welcome and waste bags are available near the start of the loop.
