Pharaoh Lake Wilderness 📍

The Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area, an Adirondack Park unit of New York’s Forest Preserve, straddles the Essex County-Warren County line in the towns of Ticonderoga, Hague, Horicon and Schroon. The county road along the east shore of Schroon Lake forms the western boundary; to the north, private land and NY 74 form the boundary. The state land boundary forms most of the remaining perimeter except for a stretch of NY 8 on the south. The area contains 39 bodies of water covering 1,100 acres (4.4 km2), 62.8 miles (101 km) of foot trails, and 14 lean-tos.

Grizzle Ocean

|

It's supposedly named after a logger who bragged that the fish he caught there were large enough to have come from an ocean. These days, the water is stocked with brook trout. Bring a kayak or a fishing pole in warmer weather, or snowshoes in winter. For those who really want to get away from it all, there's a lean-to beside the shore. https://poststar.com/get-out/hiking/grizzle-ocean-in-pharoah-lake-wilderness-area/article_1e20e9dd-d6ee-51ae-a42b-9a6b7f3e5f9c.html

Here we are at the summit. There are four different views from here, providing almost a 360-view from the mountain, bar a good due south view.
