The Northville–Lake Placid Trail, also known as the NPT,[1] is a lightly travelled foot trail that runs 138 miles (214 km) through the Adirondack Park in northern New York State. It was laid out by the Adirondack Mountain Club in 1922 and 1923 and is maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

The southern terminus is Waterfront Park in Northville, NY and the northern terminus is Averyville Rd in Lake Placid.[2]
