We had a few hours to kill one Sunday in October and were looking for fall foliage to photograph when we can across the Henrys Woods trails in Lake Placid. There are about 5 miles of trails but the main lope with the best views is about 3.8 miles
How to get there… From the intersection of Routes 73 and 86 in Lake Placid, follow Route 73 toward Keene, about 0.2 miles to Station Street, the first right after you cross the Chubb River. Follow this road for about 3/4 of a mile to the Old Military Road. Follow that one for about 1 mile to Bear Cub Lane on the right. The trail-head is a couple hundred feet up on the right.

The trails are well marked with color coded tags on some of the trees. The paths are smooth easy to follow with lots of interesting thing to stop and take a closer look at.

A little way along the trail, you will find an odd bridge to nowhere.

We’re not sure of it’s purpose but it was cool to see

Small bridges span brooks and drainage areas

Nice view of the mountains and fall colors

Along the trail you will come across benches made from a tree with the roots still attached that have been split in half making a really nice bench

Just had to do a selfie

If you are looking for an easy family friendly trail, we would definitely recommend this one
