When I saw the original message, I had in mind more things like: Cheney Pond Road: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/20078367 (need to verify that this is passable - I have reason to believe that it is, at least for a 4WD) Cheney Pond-Irishtown snowmobile trail: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/20078250 This one inexplicably stops at the ford at the ruined dam on Lester Flow. It's in fact continuous with Cheney Pond Road in Irishtown: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/20088051 which is mislabeled; only the short section up to Shevlin Road is called Byrnes Road. I have it on good authority that this road is gated at both ends, but there are still a handful of landowners who have inholdings at the edge of the Hoffman Notch Wilderness, have the keys to the gate, and access their holdings by 4WD or ATV. Mud Mountain Horse Trail: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/20077778 (Mostly part of) the abandoned Grass[e] River Railroad [1915-1957] (usable as a MTB trail but you have to be careful of the ties): https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8750962 About half part of the Grass[e] River right-of-way and about half I-don't-know-what. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8752087 These facts are from second-hand local knowledge and non-free published sources, so I don't feel comfortable putting anything into OSM until and unless I survey that area. (Which I may do in 3-4 years, as part of a different project entirely.) I suppose that if someone wanted to remove the names 'Adirondack Park' and 'Adirondack Park Preserve' from all the roads in that area, leaving them nameless, I wouldn't make much of a fuss. The name doesn't add useful information. I simply haven't bothered on ways that I haven't surveyed, because of all the other issues.
