Pharaoh Lake

Pharaoh Lake is a 441 acre lake that is the center piece for the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. It is ringed by several campsites and lean-tos and is a short but steep hike away from Pharaoh Lake Mountain, which has some of the best views in the Southeast Adirondacks.

As of this summer, the bridge over the outlet (southern tip) of Pharoah Lake is closed for repairs, so one must go around the lake to get to the northern shore of the lake from the Pharoah Lake Trail from Pharoah Road/Beaver Dam Road in Schroon.

Pharaoh Lake Trail

 Pharaoh Lake Trail

The most popular way to access Pharoah Lake is via the Pharoah Lake Trail off of Pharoah Road and Beaver Pond Road in Schroon. The Pharaoh Lake Trail extends 3.3 miles from the Pharaoh Lake Road Trailhead to the intersection of trails at the outlet of Pharaoh Lake. There is no access to the north shore at this point, due to the bridge over Pharoah Lake Brook being closed at this time.
