Trail Overview

The Dacy Clearing Road starts at the Shelving Rock Road and takes you to several primitive campsites and the Dacy Clearing Trailhead in the Lake George Wild Forest in the eastern part of the Adirondack Park. It is a gravel forestry road with some soft sand spots that can turn into mud holes after heavy rain. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and High-Clearance are recommended, especially during Winter. All vehicles must be street legal. The Adirondack Park is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States. More than 6 million acres, 3,000 lakes, 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, 2,000 miles of hiking trails, and endless dirt roads offering unforgettable recreational adventures. The Adirondack Park is not a National or State Park. There's no entrance fee.
