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.

Relatively Smooth Section of Crane Pond Road

|

Crane Pond Road is not regularly maintained by the NYSDEC and as such is quite rutted, muddy, and just plain darn rough.

Alder Brook Road Closed (?)

|

I don't understand this sign except maybe that the road was simply "legally closed". The road was passable, although there was one lane closed.

Adirondack Homeland Rock at Crane Pond Road

|

Crane Pond Road is a road quite a bit of history, with the Adirondack's version of the Sagebush Rebellion. A brief history: "In 1990, a group of men wearing masks removed the boulders and vowed to keep the road open. Members of Earth First, a radical environmental group, later pitched tents at the start of road to keep out vehicles. Footage later aired on a 60 Minutes piece about violence against environmentalists."
