Sargent Ponds Wild Forest 📍

Parts of the trail cross marshy areas on board walks, like these constructed on the first 3/4 mile of the trail.

Make a left at one mile, to go up Owls Head. The other direction takes you to the Lake Eaton State Campground.

It looks like in 1982, the state experimented with these imprinted steel trail markers along the trail, long since largely grown into the barks of the tree.

This is looking backwards, towards the Sargent Ponds Wilderness, Lake Eaton, and the timber lands between here and Tupper Lake.

Part of the trail is well worn, and is on open rock face. The good news however is with the lush tree cover, you don't have to worry about acrophobia up here.
