Located mostly on the southern shores of Tupper Lake, Horseshoe Lake Wild Forest is popular for those adventurers looking to escape the crowds of Tupper Lake. There are six primitive camping spots available along Horseshoe Lake, with a few others away from the lake. The wild forest also has access of Lows Lake & Hitchins Pond Primitive Area for those looking to explore the area.

End Of Lows Lake

Looking out at the end of Lows Lake right above the dam. I've done this portage a few times, and I bet the lake from here with the lowwater requires multiple portages as one goes through the area.

Looking Out Along The Bog

By the time I got off Lows Ledge and stopped at the Hitchens Pond Carry for a bit, it was almost 9 PM by the time I got back to my truck. I stopped and snapped this picture of the view along the way of Lows Upper Road, sometimes also called Sabbist Scout Camp Road. The road is gated, but it is maintained for DEC vehicles and the utility corridor that runs under it, and is a pleasant walk.

Evening At The Carry

After hiking Lows Ledge, I spent some time down by Hitchens Pond at the carry, just taking in the darkening skies.
