I was thinking the other day, it’s been a long time since I camped and spent much time in the Vanderwhacker Wild Forest. From the Vanderwhacker Mountain Firetower Trail to Lester Flow to just camping along one of the many roads up there, much can be done at weekend up there.

The last time I was up there was in May 2013, when I camped off of Northwoods Club Road and hike down to the gorge and paddled around Huntley Pond. That was fun, but I think if I go back I’d rather do Vanderwhacker Mountain and camp off of Vanderwhacker Road.

I’ve kind of avoided going back up there, as it’s a pretty long trip and involves hitting rush hour traffic on the Northway, but I think it would be a good adventure, on a nice summer weekend, not too hot once the roads get harder, because often Vanderwhacker Road aka Moose Club Road is very soft.
