Red Horse Trail
![Red Horse Trail [Expires January 23 2024]](https://andyarthur.org//data/photo_007889_large.jpg)
The Red Horse Trail in the southern Five Ponds Wilderness of the Adirondacks is a historic, challenging trail dating back to 1922. Spanning five miles from Big Burnt Lake to Clear Lake, it features serene lakes, old-growth forests, and wetland boardwalks. Divided into three sections, the trail's remoteness and limited access, primarily by boat, preserve its wilderness character. Highlights include Salmon Lake, Witchhopple Lake, and Clear Lake, with a mix of challenging and level terrain. The trail offers opportunities for camping, canoeing, and kayaking, providing a genuine wilderness experience away from more frequented Adirondack trails.

Bombay – Brasher State Forests
North of the Adirondack Park lays a mixture of farm country and sand plains. Some of the land is fertile and used for dairying and other crop growing, but much of it is pretty shallow and easily damaged by the destructive practices of the iron industry, which burned much of the forests at one point for making iron.
Nowadays much of this land is part of State Forest system set into place when Franklin Roosevelt was Governor of New York, Brasher State Forest (St. Lawrence County; lands to the east) and Bombay State Forest (Franklin County; lands to east). Switch to the OpenStreetMap or USGS Topo DRG layers for more information about the forest or browse the blog in category below for more maps.
It is crossed by two major rivers - the Saint Regis River and Deer River. Camping is a popular activity at Walter Pratt Camping Area, a free-campground on Redwater Pond.

I had a North Country colleague from years ago. They said it was pronounced "bra-ah-shere" or something like that. Not brash-er, as I would call it.
