South Taconic Trail, Hiking trail in Dutchess County, United States.
The South Taconic Trail spans 12 miles along the borders of New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, reaching elevations over 2,300 feet through hardwood forests.
The trail system developed as part of the northeastern United States recreational infrastructure, connecting three state borders at a marker that hikers frequently visit.
Local hiking groups maintain the white-blazed path through voluntary work, preserving access to Mount Frissell and Brace Mountain for outdoor enthusiasts.
Hikers can access the trailhead from New York State Route 22 at White House Crossing Road in Ancram, with parking available at 950 feet elevation.
The path leads to the highest point in Dutchess County at Brace Mountain, where timber rattlesnakes inhabit the rocky terrain near the 2,311-foot summit.
