Description:
The Bloomindale Bog Trail is located in the Adirondack Forest Preserve and is used by mountain bikers and hikers. The trail follows an old rail bed, and its southern segment runs through a bog. Beavers have dammed the stream, which requires walking your bike at one point, unless you want to get wet feet. Tree roots make for a bumpy ride, though the trail is mostly flat and suitable for beginner mountain cyclists.

Cyclists please give way to hikers; all users be warned of black flies and other bugs until late June or early July.

Wet and bumpy but worth it
By RussNelson in August, 2011
I rode this trail in 2006. It is wet from beavers and bumpy from roots just as described, but it's a lot of fun and you get some gorgeous views. Definitely worth riding it, and don't let the water scare you. It's only water and just a foot deep.
