East Branch Sacandaga River 📍

Stretching between Wevertown and Wells along NY 8, the East Branch of Sacandaga River offers a picturesque route hosting roadside campsites and trailheads to secluded spots. While proximity to a well-maintained state highway makes these campsites accessible during shoulder seasons and winter (with snow shovel), traffic noise can be a drawback. The river features noteworthy sites like Griffin Falls, Cod Pond, the captivating Stewart Creek, the ruins of Fox Lair Camp, the East Branch Trail leading to East Branch Falls, and scenic Eleventh Mountain. This scenic drive intertwines nature and exploration, inviting travelers to discover hidden gems along the East Branch of Sacandaga River.

Somebody had left a beer can (NOT ME!) stuck on a tree branch they were using as a target with a 22 rifle.

Swimming Hole

I bet this location along the remains of the old Fox Lair camp is an excellent swimming hole, assuming there is enough water in the East Branch which often gets very dried up come hot and dry summer days.
