The Town of Malone boundary is the Adirondack Park boundary on NY 30; you'll go through a cut and over a rise in a farm field, where you can see a hundred miles north and west into Canada. Geographically, you have now left the Adirondacks and are now on the Northern or Laurentian Plateau,
of the St. Lawrence River Valley. Or in other words, you're out of the woods and on the plains. The plateau is very flat, just like our Northern Great Plains. The Village of Malone, the Franklin County seat, is just ahead. The road is fast and straight into the village, so play it safe and do the 30 mph speed limit.
From Lake Clear Junction, there is the abandoned northbound railroad spur line to Malone, which is now a major snowmobile trail. Since Malone is out of the park, there are a lot more snowmobile trails and the motels in the area cater to people sledding in. Using the rr trail, you can sled to Tupper or Saranac Lake on the Adirondack Railroad main line. There are a lot of rivers up here for fishing and good hunting amongst the old farms on the plains. There is also good golfing I am told.
