Adirondack Rail Trail

We are proud to announce that the Adirondack Rail Trail has been recognized with three major industry awards, celebrating its excellence in transportation infrastructure and engineering:

  • 2025 ACEC New York Engineering Excellence Diamond Award
  • 2024 APWA New York State Chapter – Transportation Project of the Year Award
  • 2024 APWA Capital Branch – Transportation Project of the Year Award

The Adirondack Rail Trail is a transformative project that enhances regional connectivity, promotes year-round outdoor recreation, and preserves the scenic beauty of the Adirondacks. This 34-mile multi-use trail extends from Lake Placid to Tupper Lake, NY and serves as a key asset for both residents and visitors, supporting sustainable tourism and economic growth.

Creighton Manning provided surveying, trail design, and construction support services through the New York State office of General Services (OGS).

Congratulations to the entire team for their dedication and exceptional work on this award-winning project!
