The Van Hoevenberg Trail is a hiking trail that leads southward from Adirondak Loj to the peak of Mount Marcy, the highest point in New York State. Located in the High Peaks Wilderness Area, it is the shortest and most frequently-used route to get to the peak of Mount Marcy. It spans 7.4 miles (11.2 km) to the summit, a lengthy 14.8-mile (22.4 km) roundtrip. A large section of the trail is suitable for alpine skiing and snowboarding.[1] Hiking the trail is considered at least moderately difficult.[2] The trail passes over Marcy Dam.[2]
