TATR – The Adirondack Trail Ride 2026

The six-million-acre Adirondack Park is a mix of public and private lands, and is a patchwork of state land designations that categorize each public parcel into distinct land use classifications. Because of this, linking sections of rideable trail to complete the route was a challenge. But in the end, it is an adventure that stays true to the Adirondack Park: A journey from the southern foothills to the rugged interior, and on to the vast north and the picturesque Champlain Valley. It is a loop through a beautiful and diverse eastern wilderness on trail, pavement, and dirt road. Riders pass through small towns, cycle past lakes dotted with quintessential “camps”, and take on quiet backroads and pass nary another person. Much of the route leaves populated areas and takes the rider to parts of the park seldom visited. TATR satisfies that need to get “out there”.

New for 2026, there are two route options to choose from: the OG route and the new route, TATR10. The new TATR10 route is more tame than the OG route. It avoids the mandatory river crossings, long hike-a-bike sections, and rough trails. It is 40+ miles longer, but it overlaps the OG route in many sections, hits many of the same resupplies, and has enough spicy bits to keep you interested.
