We will be following the Van Hoevenberg trail, a 14.8-mile round trip hike with moderate and steep trail sections. Starting at the High Peak Information Center, the first 2.3 miles of the Van Hoevenberg Trail traverse rolling hills as it approaches the former site of Marcy Dam.

While this hike is open to all, we recommend some previous experience of hiking in the Adirondacks before taking on Marcy!
