Meco Lake Trail (Piseco-Powley Road)

Meco Lake Trail (Piseco-Powley Road)

The Meco Lake Snowmobile Trail can be found near Mud Lake on Piseco-Powley Road. It is walkable in the summer months, and is easy to follow the 1.4 miles to the end of state land, however a somewhat harder to follow trail continues beyond that with views of Meco Lake about a 1/2 mile further. The private land is not posted, however there is a sign requesting you remain on the trail.

Sand Lake Trail

 Sand Lake Trail

The Sand Lake Trail is about a half mile long but can be a somewhat difficult portage at the end due to the swampy, narrow trail. But it's a nice little wilderness lake, with a campsite, not too remote off of Piseco-Powley Road. There also is a designated roadside campsite at the trailhead.

Ferris Lake

 Ferris Lake

Ferris Lake, despite being the name sake of this region, is actually one of the more challenging lakes to get back to. Not due to the terrain as much as the lake is surrounded by small streams and wetlands, and the best access to the lake is posted via the old road. The DEC has said they will eventually build a trail out to this lake in the Unit Management Plan, which has yet to be approved.
