Confirmed from Trail Junction Appalachian Trail & Blue Fahnestock Snowshoe trail South, Lake Access South's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Trail Junction Appalachian Trail & Blue Fahnestock Snowshoe trail South, Lake Access South

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (1 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Nice access to Appalachian Trail from Lake Canopus. The Blue 🔵 trail creates a loop with the AT. Very nice views on the AT of the lake.
