Moose Mountain Pond
From the Hammond Pond Parking Area on Moriah Road (4 miles east of US 9), head south on the Berrymill Flow Trail. The flow is roughly 1 1/2 miles south of the parking area, with only a very slight incline. Head south-east on the Mouse Mountain Pond Trail another 1 1/2 miles to reach the lake which contains a lean-to on the north shore. Slight incline, gaining 200 feet before dropping over a ridge to the pond.

Pharoah Lake
Updated map of Pharoah Lake with campsites based on the latest data dump from the NYSDEC. As of this summer, the bridge over the outlet (southern tip) of Pharoah Lake is closed for repairs, so one must go around the lake to get to the northern shore of the lake from the Pharoah Lake Trail from Pharoah Road/Beaver Dam Road in Schroon.
Hammond Pond
The one mile Hammond Pond Trail is a nice leg-strecher with minimal incline from the Hammond Pond parking area on Moriah Road.

Bass Lake Trail
Park off of the triangle at Moria Road, off of US 9 a little ways north of North Hudson, hike back roughly 2 miles to a designated campsite on Bass Lake. Another half mile beyond there is Berrymill Flow, a formerly dammed up secton of the Berry Mill Brook.
