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.

Alder Pond

Along Crane Pond Road, after where I parked and hiked the rest of the way, as I didn't want to try crossing Alder Pond in my truck.

Where Crane Pond Road Crosses Alder Pond

|

Crane Pond Road crosses the inlet to Alder Pond on some sand territory. Normally I don't think the cross is as deep as it was on this particular day after the spring rains. That said, that Chevy K1500 pickup I posted earlier made it across, but I certainly wasn't brave enough to try it myself.
