The Roosevelt–Marcy Trail is named for the historic route Vice President Theodore Roosevelt traveled on a midnight stagecoach ride from Tahawus to the North Creek train station to take the Presidential oath.
On September 14, 1901, then-Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was at Lake Tear of the Clouds after returning from a hike to the Mount Marcy summit when he received a message informing him that President William McKinley, who had been shot two weeks earlier but was expected to survive, had taken a turn for the worse.
Roosevelt hiked down the mountain to the closest stage station at Long Lake, New York.
[2] The route is in the Adirondack Park region, linking unique history to the scenery.
