Trail Overview

Hog Town Road connects Shelving Rock Road at the west end and County Road 16 at the east end of the trail. The road takes you to a few hiking trails and a fishing pond in the Lake George Wild Forest in the eastern part of 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. 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. There is no entrance fee to get into the park.

Trail ends at a private gate, in and out road. Almost was hit by a dump truck and there were lots of people in the road. Not a very good trail, drove 1.5 hrs to get there and was disappointed.
