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.

Sunday was kind of cloudy but not to wet

Didn't camp at Foxlair house site, but I did hike over there and peer into the valley over the East Branch Sacanadaga River. While not a super nice day, not too much rain and at times it wasn't as dreary as this photo would suggest.
