In 1973, facing community opposition and the state's deteriorating budget situation, the Long Island Expressway extension was cancelled, ending abruptly at Horseblock Road (which us children have a more obscene term for) and Old Country Road about 5 miles outside of Riverhead. A series of outlet mauls, an amusement park and other businesses popped up very conveniently at the end of the L.I.E., hoping to capture the dollar of the tourist heading out to the wild country of Western Long Island after leaving the city. Manhattan is roughly 70 miles to the west on Nation's Largest Parking Lot as some people call the L.I.E.
I decided to drive back this way last night. I was thinking this would be a nice bike ride north from Good Luck Lake at some point when I have more time -- there is good shoulder for riding, it's relatively flat and great views along the road.
Deep Pond Trail is located off of the Brooktrout Lake Trail in Moose River Plainss (technically West Canada Lake Wilderness), and is a three mile hike back from Idnain Lake Road.
Pine Lake in the Independence River Wild Forest in the Western Adirondacks is located 1.5 miles south west of the Big Otter Lake Parking Area, which is 3.5 miles east of the wild forest boundary on Partridgeville Road. There is a lean-to and campsite located on this remote Adirondack lake.
