A 3D rendering of the Coney Mountain Trail in the Northern Adirondacks, south of Tupper Lake.
Old NY 10 running on the east side of Goodman Mountain couldn't have been in use very long as it's not seen on the 1907 USGS topographic maps and by the mid-1950s has already been by-passed in favor of the modern western alignment along the lake.
Old highway alignments come in all shapes and sizes, as well as taking some different forms after their lifespan of serving cars and trucks has ended. In the case of an old alignment of what was NY 10 south of Tupper Lake, New York, part of the old road was turned into part of a hiking trail to go up Goodman Mountain. At one time, the road passed by Goodman Mountain to the east, or Litchfield Mountain as it was known at the time. As the years passed, sometime around 1960, the part of NY 10 north of Speculator became part of NY 30, and remains that way today from Speculator, past Indian Lake and Tupper Lake and up to the Canadian Border. At one time, the highway was realigned to pass the Goodman Mountain to the west, leaving this stretch of road to be mostly forgotten and to be reclaimed by nature.
With the first par being the Hitchins Pond and the second part being officially Lows Lake in the Bog River Flow.
