Vanderwhacker

The Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest is a 92,000-acre (370 km2) tract made up of almost 2 dozen non-contiguous parcels that are designated as Wild Forest by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in the central Adirondack Park. The area contains 44 ponds and small lakes, and portions of the Hudson and Boreas Rivers. The area supports hiking, birding, snowmobiling, Nordic skiing, hunting, camping, canoeing, and fishing. The area is served by NY-28.

Campsites Along NY 28N

I was asked the other day about accessible campsites just off the road outside of Alden Lair and Newcomb. I've camped at these field campsites along the Boreas River and they are pretty nice although some road noise. The Hewitt Eddy Trail is worthwhile to hike too. 

Boreas River

The Boreas River along the Hewitt Eddy trail is wide and relatively shallow, as it winds away from NY 28N, near Vanderwhacker Road aka Moose Club Way.
