Dexter Lake is one of smaller lakes in Ferris Lake Wild Forest, known mostly for it's heart shape and how it's very centrally located in forest, in pretty remote country. There is one campsite on western shore on the Dry Lake Trail.

Road Up To New Powley Bridge

|

Besides the lower bridge on Piseco-Powley Road needing some serious work, they had to replace the deck on the old Powley Place Bridge. The new brridge is much higher then the old bridge -- the old deck is still there, but it's not supporting anything except maybe the substructure banks of the bridge. I assume eventually they will install a permanent bridge here.
